what are the dvantages of self pollination
Answers
Answer:
May lead to the weakening of variety or the species due to continued self-pollination, thereby affecting the quality of offspring
Defective or weaker characters of the variety or breed cannot be eliminated
Self-pollination does not yield new varieties, hence fewer chances of improvement in the subsequent generation
Advantages
The advantages of self-pollination are as follows: Much surer in bisexual flowers where stamens and carpels mature simultaneously. Indefinite preservation of parental characters. No wastage of pollen grains.
Disadvantages
May lead to the weakening of variety or the species due to continued self-pollination, thereby affecting the quality of offspring. Defective or weaker characters of the variety or breed cannot be eliminated. Self-pollination does not yield new varieties, hence fewer chances of improvement in the subsequent generation.
