What advantage does hermaphroditism have for slow-moving organisms such as the earthworm

Biology
1 answer:
ANTONII [103]3 years ago
8 0
When an organism is sessile, or slow moving it might be very hard for that organism to find food, shelter and a reproductive mate.
One of many solutions to the problem of finding a mate is hermaphroditism.
When an organism is hermaphroditic it means that it has the reproductive organs of both sexes and that it is able to self-fertilize.
This solution, although sometimes very useful, if used all the time can lead to inbreeding and have negative effects on the genetic diversity of the population. Therefore, hermaphroditic organisms self-fertilize only in cases where there is no available mate to be found.

Ede4ka [16]
<span>Insects are found in almost all ecosystems on Earth, with the rarity being oceans. While some species, such as coconut crabs, sand hoppers, woodlice and pill bugs dwell on land, crustaceans are generally found in water — and usually oceanic — regions. Adapting to their habitat, many insect species evolved wings — two pairs for most and one pair for others. A tracheal system is also present for breathing. Crustaceans, on the other hand, breathe using gill-like mechanisms.</span>
