Partho mom produces males?

Okay, this is just a thought but I figured I’d share it. From research I’ve found it seems that @squidman is right that females are heterozygous and males are homozygous. It seems that 99% of the time only females are produced from parthenogenesis (female’s passed on allele is dominant?) but it would explain how the female had the male’s genes (the allele has to originally be present to show up in offspring, not including mutations). From this thread there’s this qote:

I have a few ideas what this could conclude but what are your thoughts on how this correlates with this case? I also found the terminology “androgenesis”, I know what it is but I don’t understand it. I don’t know if this could apply to this case.
