Question

how hermaphroditic condition is advantageous for the parasitic mode of life?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hermaphrodites have the great advantage of being capable of reproduction even if they cannot find another member of their species in a host, by self-fertilization. In heteroxenous life cycles a distinction is first made between the final host and intermediate host.

Answer 2

Hermaphrodites benefit greatly from the ability to self-fertilize, which allows them to reproduce even when they are unable to find another member of their species in a host. The final host and intermediate hosts are initially distinguished in heteroxenous life cycles.

Hermaphrodites:

• An organism possessing both male and female genitalia is called hermaphrodite.
• Male reproductive organs—typically sperm—are produced by males in sexually reproducing species.
• Female gametes, also referred to as eggs, are produced by various sexual organs in females.
• In sexually dimorphic creatures, the population is split into genders and each individual only has one type of reproductive organs.
• Occasionally, the organisms are split practically evenly.
• People in these situations have to compete for mates.
• Sometimes one guy and one female are paired together evenly.
• Sometimes a single male or female will procreate with a significant number of the opposite gender.

Typically parasitic, slow-moving, or affixed to another animal or plant permanently, hermaphroditic animals—mostly invertebrates like worms, bryozoans (moss animals), trematodes (flukes), snails, slugs, and barnacles—are in this category.
