Chapter 9.9, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction

To explain:

The reason behind the more variability in the offspring produced by a male and hermaphrodite than offspring of self-reproducing hermaphrodite.

Concept introduction:

The sexual reproduction involves two different parents. Each of the parents forms gametes, which at the time of fertilization fuses. This leads to the formation of a zygote, which is genetically different from both the parents. However, there are certain species in which, the hermaphrodite organisms exist. The hermaphrodites have both the sex organs.
