Question
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.

Students have asked these similar questions
Why are the offspring of a male and a hermaphrodite more variablethan the offspring of a self-reproducing hermaphrodite?
Asexual reproduction passes on 100% of the parent's genes but it is relatively rare.
What are the advantages of sexual vs asexual reproduction? In some cases, species
are hermaphrodites to reduce the difficulty in finding mates. What is the difference
between simultaneous and sequential hermaphrodites? Why is "selfing" relatively
rare?
Why is sexual reproduction useful if only half the animals can produce offspring and two separate cells must be combined to form a third?
