Advantages of cross pollination as compared to self pollination

1 answer:

4 0

Cross pollination is advantageous because it allows for diversity in the species, as the genetic information of different plants are combined. However, it relies on the existence of pollinators that will travel from plant to plant. Self pollination leads to more uniform progeny, meaning that the species is, for example, less resistant as a whole to disease.
