Looked back at my post and noticed parthenogenic was spelled wrong. That's what I get for trying to post from phone. Lol

Sorry to hijack thread, just answering question.

I believe limited genetic variation can occur through the"crossing over" phenomenon of chromosomes.

Here is wickipedia page that may be helpful.

It also let me know I butchered the spelling of Cnemidophorus.

Anyway, hope that answers your question.
