Question

Many marine invertebrates release gametes into the surrounding environment and rely on water currents for gamete dispersal and fertilization. This form of sexual reproduction is known as broadcast spawning. This type of reproduction has some distinct advantages over asexual reproduction and other forms of reproduction. Check those advantages that apply.
