A female Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) kept inisolation in a zoo had progeny. Each of the offspring had twoidentical copies of every gene in its genome. However, theoffspring were not identical to one another. Based on yourunderstanding of parthenogenesis and meiosis, propose ahypothesis to explain these observations.
