In a story similar to the virgin birth of a shark at the Reef HQ Aquarium in Queensland, Australia, zookeepers at the Chester Zoo in England reported that a Komodo dragon laid a clutch of eggs that hatched into healthy young. The zookeepers claimed that the offspring were a result of asexual reproduction. What evidence would confirm this claim?
the laid eggs hatched into healthy young without fertilization from the male therefore indicating the eggs were fertilized asexually. This form of fertilization is called parthenogenesis.
Parthenogenesis is a form of reproduction in which an egg can develop into an embryo without being fertilized by a sperm. This form of fertilization is common in insects and most invertebrates.
