Because of more heterozygous genetic load possesed by alien invasive plants which provides the ability to adapt to diverse environmental situations as compared to relatively less heterozygous genetic load possessing native plants. Heterozygosity enhances plasticity.
Plasticity is a survival mechanism that made a plant to adapt faster in diverse environments. e.g Space Mutations are being used to search for variations through growing plants in retrievable satellites. Plants show quick response to contrasting space environment and produces new variation. Those plants ares screened and utilized for crop improvement in fields.
Dears
in state of comparison, in which condition an invasive plant is more heterozygous? and between mating and mutation, which one mostly takes part in heterozygosity?
