No

Explanation:

I know in humans at least, there is no such gene. But in sharks and other animals, I know that at times due to temperature and geographic changes the organism can switch to produce asexually.

I don't think that it's due to a 'on and off' gene, but rather chemicals and hormones being released to tell the animal's cells to start secreting the necessary products for whatever type of reproduction the animal sees necessary for the time.

I looked on the web a little and didn't find much, I wish you the best of luck. Feel free to leave a comment and I'll consult my peers and I'll grab a better answer for you.

Thanks!
