What are possible advantages for self-pollination to have evolved in a flowering plant species? select all that apply.

Respuesta :

All the options are correct:  The advantages of self - pollination include;

  1. the plant species can survive in areas where animal pollinators are absent,  
  2. the plant species tends to produce offspring that are more uniform compared to offspring resulting from outcrossing and
  3. less energy can be spent on attracting pollinator.

What is pollination?

Pollination is the transfer of pollen from an anther of a plant to the stigma of a plant, later enabling fertilization and the production of seeds, most often by an animal or by wind.

There are two main types of pollination:

  • Self pollination
  • Cross pollination

What is self pollination?

Self-pollination is a form of pollination in which pollen from the same plant arrives at the stigma of a flower or at the ovule.

Advantages of self pollination;

  • The plant species can survive in areas where animal pollinators are absent.
  • The plant species tends to produce offspring that are more uniform compared to offspring resulting from outcrossing.
  • Less energy can be spent on attracting pollinator.

Thus, the possible advantages for self-pollination to have evolved in a flowering plant species are; the plant species can survive in areas where animal pollinators are absent and less energy can be spent on attracting pollinator.
