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.

∙ 9y agoThe 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.

∙ 12y agoWith 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.

- Purity of race is maintained
- Avoids wastage of pollen grains
- less chance of failure of pollination
Disadvantages
- Continuous self-pollination leads to weaker progeny
- new species are not produced

What kind of pollination increases variation within a plant species?
The right answer is "cross" or "cross pollination" or "cross-pollination"
What is the process in which the pollen from on plant is used to fertilize another?
Cross pollination or cross fertilisation.
The transfer of pollen from a male structure to a female structure?
my answer is cross plants INCORRECT
What are the three ways in which pollination can occur?
Self pollination, wind pollination, and insect pollination are the three ways that pollination occurs. Pollination is needed in order for plants to reproduce.
What was the process called that mendel used when he wanted to breed one plant with another?
Cross -Pollination.
What kind of pollination increases variation within a plant species?
The right answer is "cross" or "cross pollination" or "cross-pollination"
The movement of pollen from the stamen to the carpel is called.?
It is known as pollination (sometimes as cross-pollination).
What is the purpose of cross-pollination and self-pollination?
The purpose of cross-pollination and self-pollination are to perform reproduction so off spring can be produced.
What is Different between self pollination and cross pollination?
In cross pollination there is wastage of pollen grains , but in self pollination there is no wastage of pollen grains.
Distinguish between self-pollination cross-pollination?
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.
What are the types of pollination?
cross and self pollination
What are the 2 different methods of 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
What is the process in which the pollen from on plant is used to fertilize another?
Cross pollination or cross fertilisation.
Which type of pollination is better self or cross pollination?
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.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of self-pollination and cross-pollination?
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.
How many types of pollination are there?
There are 2 types of pollination 1. Self pollination. 2. Cross pollination.
What are the three types of pollination?
self-pollination cross-pollination wind-pollination
