- civilitty 3y agoFor the most part, yes, they are clones of the mother [1] or father [2]. It gets way more complicated in some frogs though… [3] [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gynogenesis https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gynogenesis [2] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androgenesis https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androgenesis [3] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybridogenesis_in_water_frogs https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybridogenesis_in_water_frog...
- pvaldes 3y agoIs not usual, but can happen in some species Not necessarily a clone because sometimes happens in several steps. For example, horse x donkey hybrids are sterile in principle, but if just by chance they produce an ovule keeping only the DNA of one of their parents, it can be fecundated. A female mule can deliver a foal that is either a pure horse or a pure donkey, never another mule.
