Posted by: Paul Hollander at Thu May 12 10:01:11 2005 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Paul Hollander ] If we were working with mammals, I would agree that a parthenogenic offspring would be female. But colubrid snakes have the bird pattern of sex chromosomes. Males have a pair of large Z chromosomes, and females have a large Z chromosome paired with a smaller W chromosome. So I would expect a male from the egg instead of a female. | ||
