Title: Are offsprings produce by hermaphrodite organisms genetically identical because both male and female Post by: Nikhil verma on Jul 31, 2016 Thanks
Title: Re: Are offsprings produce by hermaphrodite organisms genetically identical because both male and ... Post by: bio_man on Aug 8, 2016 The cool thing about reproduction (and it's sexual reproduction, even in hermaphrodites) is that all the genes recombine. Mutations happen, too. Crossing over of the chromosomes also happens. All this added up means that there's tons of possibilities for the offspring's genes.

If an hermaphrodite mates with another hermaphrodite, their eggs and sperm fuse in exactly the same way as mating between non-hermaphrodites. Lets take an hypothetical example: Dogs mate and reproduce using sexual reproduction - so the pups that are produced are a "blend" of the genetic traits of each of their parents. If dogs were hermaphrodites, their offspring would still be produced by fusion of eggs and sperm, and would therefore still be a "blend" between the two parents. However, if female dogs could reproduce parthenogenically, then no male would be needed, as the female could just "become" pregnant with clones of herself.

Post by: Nikhil verma on Aug 9, 2016 But my question was that what would happen if both the male and female gamets are of the same parent , as in earthworm it's sometimes occur?
