    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.

        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.
