Dec 29, 2017 at 11:04 | comment | added | Lee Leon | Likewise, if a child was conceived parthenogenetically. Very highly unlikely, because even if an egg was created with two sets of chromosomes, one set needs to be edited a little somehow for the ovum to be viable - of course transcription errors do happen and, I suppose, may be a genetic weakness or feature which might be inherited, so for the daughter to also conceive parthenogenetically more likely. This is essentially the same as your answer with the exception that yours is deliberate intervention and reasonably certain, whereas parthenogenesis is incredibly unlikely (near impossible). | |
