How is cross-fertilization advantageous over asexual reproduction?

Biology
1 answer:
Aneli [31]3 years ago
7 0
Cross-fertilization is the binding of female and male gametes or the sex cells from two different individuals given they are of the same species. On the other hand, asexual reproduction involves the formation of offspring only from a single individual where a cell only makes a copy of itself. It is advantageous since it would introduce diversity to a species which would help it to be more resistant to any factors that could damage it like diseases. <span />

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:fungi

Explanation:fungi are heterotrophic plants. They are organisms that lack chlorophyll,true roots,stems and leaves .as a result they cannot produce their own food .they depend on dead and decaying matter for their source of energy, thus they are saprophytes.Fungi may be Unicellular or multicellular. They consist of harlike filaments of hyphae which fuses together and forms a mass of mycellium. Common example of fungi we see around us are mushrooms. Fungi feed by secreting digestive enzymes into their substrate and they absorb the nutrients that are broken down by the enzymes. Fungi are important because they help to rid the environment of dead matter by decomposing them. Matured fungi reproduce asexually by the means of spores

Virus are made with ADN or RNA only, which both of them has the information of replication. Once that the virus is in a cell, this ADN or RNA will be deposit inside the cell at the replication system that is going to make the virus reproduce unlimited times until the membranes of the cell break down.
