"Self-Pollination and Asexual Reproduction Are the Same Thing"
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Treating self-pollination as asexual reproduction overstates a real similarity — both reduce genetic diversity, but self-pollination still involves meiosis and fertilization.
Show
A self-pollinated pea plant's offspring carry a new combination of the parent's own alleles, not an identical genetic copy of the parent.

This entry states the collapsing misconception — Bio 2615 gives the reproductive steps this misconception skips over entirely.
