2-8 This is just the tip of the iceberg, and this synthesis provides only some basic information for this topic as reported in the literature (Roughgarden 2013); or (Berkowitz 2022). (A) There exist an all-female asexual species, and this includes: Geckos in the Pacific, Mexico, New Mexico and Texas; whiptail lizards in Southwestern North America; and the all-female lizards in the Caucasus mountains of Armenia and along the Amazon river in Brazil. There also occur all-female species of fish which reproduce a sexually, too. There also some other species that have ‘two’ kinds of ‘females’ - those who mate, and those who don’t mate when reproducing. This includes: grasshoppers, fruit flies, bees, roaches, mosquitoes, moths, and locusts; as well as chickens and turkeys. For instance, over 80 percent of fruit flies were found to have some females that asexually reproduce. (B) The Y chromosome: not all mammals have ‘Y’ chromosome. In reptiles, birds and amphibians the ‘Y’ chromosome doesn’t even exist.
