All the genes passed down to the baby are copies of genes from the parents. Since the woman has only x chromosomes and no y, she cannot give birth to a parthenogenic male offspring.

On the other hand, the y chromosome is basically just a broken x chromosome. So, theoretically, with extreme radiation or some other condition which radically interrupts the gene copying process, a woman could get a y chromosome... but the chances of that and still being healthy and having a healthy baby is basically zero.

No, that's why the one time it happened it is called the Christmas Miracle. Why would God have made it easy? Being omnipresent, He knew what the likes of us would think about it in this future.

Strangely enough, there doesn't seem to have been any parthenogenetic human female offspring. So this further increases the unlikelihood of parthenogenetic male offspring.

A big NO!

Females have no Y-chromosome, and a woman can never EVER poduce her own Y-chromosome without male... that's simple.

Well, that's for us humans. Other organisms have mirror image sex chromosomes: the female is "XY" and the male is "XX", but by convention biologists call a "female Y" a W chromosome and the other a Z chromosome. For example, female birds, snakes, and butterflies have ZW sex chromosomes, and males have ZZ sex chromosomes.

no, It is not possible. The female produces the X chromosome and a female is XX. during sex the XX is split in half, and one of the X is shared with the incoming male sperm. the male sperm is XY and that also splits, and some of the sprem are X and some are Y. and depending one which of the sperm meets the egg, will determine wheather it is a male XY or a Female, XX.

No--science hasn't made it that far. Check back next year.
