Yes they can and will make your other female plants pregnant. The good news - if they do get pregnant and you let the non-herm plants grow to term you'll get feminized seeds. So if that's what you're looking for cheers, if not get them the hell away from you female plants.

Except that the seed will be likely to hemie as well - it is in the genetics of the plants.

Angelsbandit is correct to an extent, if the plant was stress hermed then probably not. If it was a natural herm then yes it will pass on the trait to the offspring.

That is nothing more than a myth....I tried this when I started growing and got nothing but hermies when I used hermie seeds....
A lot of people say that on here, but anyone with experiance in this area will agree, Hermie seeds = hermie plants 9 out of 10 times...

forgot to mention, Get those plants out of the room, quick before the pollen sacs open because once they open its to late, your crop will be seeded....good luck man...

There's no need for panic. Male pollen sacs are not viable until much later after sexing. Day 0, hit them with DM Reverse/Saturator-Penetrator 20 min before lights out. You have plenty of time to confidently ascertain which is really male,hermaphrodite(rare) and female for the first three weeks. Get the males out of flowering room and use DM Reverse with Pentrator/Saturator for the females on day 7 and day 17 again 20min before lights out. Male flowers in bud will be delayed or if there's any, they will appear much later because DM reverse did it's job and by then they should be close to harvest and pretty much too late for the pollen to develop. My experience with DM Reverse is I can grow with seeds that were self-pollinated which many were harvested from my very first cycle much safely. Btw some theorize that late nanners is also indication of maturity.
