oooo, and I'm reeeeeally trying not to get sucked back into this....
but...
...the short answer (mainly because I dont feel like looking things up and copy/pasting :-)
Mitochondrial diversity in mammals (anilids aren't mammals) requires a baseline amount of competetion, no better way to achieve that than a little competition over sexual mates (trust me, I've been there). Progeny rearing required by the longer term gestation and maturation plays into this as well. Thus the evolutionary solution of the genders. There are a number of ampibs (nicley wedged in between anilids and higher life forms) that can switch gender as the population requires; these would be the transitionals for this extent. (now ask me where this wonderful little biosystem came from and we might start agreeing :-) )
All without copy/paste, my prof would be proud...
Another round please, this one's warm...
