Nah.

That one was dinosaurs changed gender to male, citing the frog DNA they completed the chain with as having that potential.

So what was supposed to be an all-female park to prevent reproduction became co-ed and then nature happened.

I'm still confused on the difference

Edit: thank you to everyone who replied, I understand the difference now

Jurassic Park’s version is still sexual reproduction. Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction.

Parthenogenesis - egg just becomes embryo, no male required

Jurassic Park - one individual turned from female to male and started making babies

One was direct development of an egg into an embryo, the other was conversion of an animal from one sex to another to facilitate mating.
