It’s different in komodo dragons. Females have W and Z chromosome. Males have two Zs. If mom produces two Z gametes, which she can, and they merge, voila... ZZ = male offspring.

This is exactly where Chelsea Clinton came from. Mother was/is a kimono dragon and daddy was/is a mystery.

As a biology major I’m impressed I didn’t know that, and I love esoteric facts like that. Thanks
Thanks for the explanation, since I was always taught that parthenogenesis could only produce female offspring.
You a good juggler...
