Sharks can get pregnant without fertilization of a male

Biologists found a female shark which was pregnant without the involvement of a male. The embryo’s found in the shark solely had the mothers DNA. Scientists think this is a mechanism and ability of nature to avoid extinction. The ability to reproduce without the fertilization of a male is called ‘Parthenogenesis‘. This is the second time parthenogenesis is witnissed among sharks. Other species among which parthenogenesis occurs are some bird, snake, fish and scorpion species.
