Most reptiles , including lizards and snakes reproduce sexually . Despite this parthenogenesis has been observed to occur naturally in certain species of lizards and snakes . Parthenogenesis is a reproductive process by which some females are able to grow and develop embryos without ever having their eggs fertilized by a male . What would happen to a population if all females reproduce through parthenogenesis alone ? A)The population would have less genetic diversity over time due to the females reproducing asexually instead of sexually . B)The population would have less genetic diversity over time due to the females reproducing sexually instead of asexually . C)The population would have more genetic diversity over time due to the females reproducing asexually instead of sexually . D)The population would have more genetic diversity over time due to the females reproducing sexually instead of asexually .
