      Nah.

      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.

          Jurassic Park’s version is still sexual reproduction. Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction.

          Parthenogenesis - egg just becomes embryo, no male required

          Jurassic Park - one individual turned from female to male and started making babies

          One was direct development of an egg into an embryo, the other was conversion of an animal from one sex to another to facilitate mating.

      No, 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
