self-fertilisation
Self-fertilisation is a reproductive process, typically in plants and certain types of animals, in which the male and female gametes involved in fertilisation come from the same individual. This means a single organism has both male and female reproductive abilities, allowing it to produce offspring without the involvement of another of its species. It promotes genetic continuity, but it reduces genetic diversity.
