| Resumo: | The greater part of eukaryotes are gonochoristic and reproduce sexually, nevertheless, in some groups have arisen lineages constituted by only one sex that reproduce clonally. Among reptiles of the order Squamata there are about 40 species of lizards that reproduce by parthenogenesis that is a mechanism of clonal reproduction through which, females produce offspring genetically identical to them. Obligate parthenogenesis is a process widely recognized in reptiles, but recently has been documented facultative parthenogenesis in females of different species of lizards and snakes, that have been kept in captivity. |
