Question 7

There is a species of desert lizard where only females are known to exist-there are no males known.It is nevertheless necessary for two females to court and for one to assume the posture of a male to stimulate the female to produce eggs.No fertilization can occur,and the eggs develop into female lizards.What is the probable evolutionary mechanism for this occurring?
