genetic variability is a readily appreciated condition. Harmfull (resessive) gentic traits are masked, harmful (dominate) traits are quickly culled. Hybred plants feel the benefit even in the first generation.
The main advantage of self-pollination is that a plant does not need to have others of its species around to be able to reproduce, but the disadvantage is that genetic diversity is lost. The main advantage of cross-pollination is an increase in genetic diversity, but the disadvantage is that there must be at least two plants of the right type that are close enough together to pollinate.
With self-pollination there are more chances of successful pollination. Quality of parent plant is retained to prevent extinction.
If you are looking for disadvantages:
No variety and if there is a disease in the parent plant, the same disease will be transferred to the offspring.
Advantages:
Disadvantages
Pollination is how flowers conceive and reproduce. If flowers and plants stopped pollinating, they would die and become extinct.
Cross pollination increases genetic diversity.
Assured mating of gametes andmaintaining genetic homozygocity
The right answer is "cross" or "cross pollination" or "cross-pollination"
Cross pollination or cross fertilisation.
my answer is cross plants INCORRECT
Self pollination, wind pollination, and insect pollination are the three ways that pollination occurs. Pollination is needed in order for plants to reproduce.
Cross -Pollination.
The right answer is "cross" or "cross pollination" or "cross-pollination"
It is known as pollination (sometimes as cross-pollination).
The purpose of cross-pollination and self-pollination are to perform reproduction so off spring can be produced.
In cross pollination there is wastage of pollen grains , but in self pollination there is no wastage of pollen grains.
The process of pollination from same flower is called self-pollination. the process of pollination from another flower of same breed is called cross-pollination.
cross and self pollination
The two main types of pollination are self (or autogamous) pollination and cross (or heterogamous) pollination. Self pollination - is when pollination is tansfer from the anther to the stigma of the same flower. Cross pollintion - is when pollination is transfer from the anther to the stigma of another flower
Cross pollination or cross fertilisation.
Both types of pollination have advantages. Self pollination allows a plant to reproduce even if there are no other plants of the same type nearby. Cross pollination can serve to prevent the extinction of a species due to a lack of genetic variation.
Self pollination does not require pollinating agency and it is accompalished with lesser amount of material (pollen grains) but selfpollination leads to homozygosity and sometimes sterility due to lethal genes. Cross pollination helps in genetic advancement and evolution of hybrids and it is preferred by majority of plants. Although cross pollination reqiures plenty of pollenating material and presence of pollinators.
There are 2 types of pollination 1. Self pollination. 2. Cross pollination.
