Question

why cross pollination is superior than self pollination

Answer 1

Cross pollination is superior than self pollination as it don't have any kind of danger and doesn't harm it and pollinate faster

Answer 2

In Cross pollination the pollen grain of anther of a flower of one plant land on the stigma of a flower of another plant of the same species.It is considered superior to self pollination because-

1) The seeds produced contain another source of genetic material which may contain genes that are advantageous for the survival of the seedling.

2) It is a source of variation in offspring because of intermixing of genetic material and process of crossing over during meiosis in the gametes.

3) The seeds are more viable and healthier with a better germinating capacity.

4) It gives more scope for evolution of a new species of plants hence adding to biodiversity.
