This is called parthenogenesis and is a known phenomenon, albeit rare in vertebrates. Some species, like the New Mexico whiptail, rely on it (all New Mexico whiptails are female).
Here is a paper from 2007 that talks about parthenogenesis in hammerhead sharks..
128 0 ReplyThe New Mexico whiptail is also an F1 hybrid. If they go extinct, you can make more by hybridizing a little striped whiptail and a western whiptail. In case anyone thought that 'species' was a solidly defined word.

Wasn't this also like the inciting incident for the original jurassic park movie?
19 0 ReplyNah.
That one was dinosaurs changed gender to male, citing the frog DNA they completed the chain with as having that potential.
So what was supposed to be an all-female park to prevent reproduction became co-ed and then nature happened.
18 0 ReplyNo, in Jurassic Park African frogs are used as the genetic gap filler, these frogs (and therefore the dinosaurs) are able to change sex in same sex environents

6 1 ReplyGenomic imprinting says no. It wouldn't produce a fetus that is in congruence with the possibility of life. It could at most start growing and developing, but it would die in the womb. More akin to a tumor than to a baby.

Interesting fact about the NM whiptail, they still need to have sex to reproduce for some reason, despite no gene swap occurring.

It's only shark Jesus if the baby is male, because that would be a miracle. If the baby is female, it's just parthenogenesis
