In which of the following organisms, self fertilization is seen
(d) Self fertilization is fusion of male and female gametes
(sex cells) produced by the same individual. Selffertilization
occurs in bisexual organisms, including most
flowering plants, numerous protozoans, and many
invertebrates. Flukes are hermaphrodites, meaning each
worm has both ovaries and testes. Probably cross
fertilization is the rule, but self fertilization is certainly a
possibility. In any case, it means that every individual is
capable of producing fertilized eggs, certainly an
advantage in species in which a high reproductive
output is required.
