Wasn't this also like the inciting incident for the original jurassic park movie?

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

Parthenogenesis - egg just becomes embryo, no male required

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