It is better that new plants are dispersed a little further away.
● Another advantage of asexual reproduction is that they do not need to waste
time and energy to find a mate. It is particularly important for lonely plants with
no similar species plant nearby.
● However sexual reproduction is useful in fighting against diseases. Plants that
reproduce asexually are prone to new diseases and very vulnerable due to
their lack of variation and coping.
Differences in cross pollination and self pollination
● Despite the fact that cross pollination and self pollination are both examples of
sexual reproduction, their differences in advantages are the same as sexual
and asexual reproduction. Cross pollination has the same advantages as
sexual reproduction and self pollination has the same advantages as asexual
reproduction.
Human Reproductive System
● Humans produce sexually.
The Female Reproductive System
● The female gametes called egg cells are made in the two ovaries.
● Leading away from the ovaries are the oviducts or Fallopian Tubes.
● The tubes do not connect directly to the ovaries but have a funnel shaped
opening just a short distance away.
● The two oviducts lead to the womb or uterus.
● At the base of the uterus is a narrow opening called the cervix.
● This opening connects to the vagina which then leads to the outside of the
body.
