Chapter 46, Problem 10TYU
Summary Introduction
To determine: Why motile species are less often hermaphrodites.
Concept introduction:
Hermaphroditism is a condition in which an organism has both male and female reproductive systems. They produce both male and female gametes, so any two organisms can mate. In hermaphrodites, the gametes produced by meiosis have different genetic makeup than the parent organism.

After the embryo has grown large enough and metamorphosed into a young urchin they hide in the spines of the adults, living off of the scraps of food produced from the messy eating of the adults] 3: Because the urchin life involves two or more ecological niches, they are more susceptible to predation and exposure to environmental toxins.
