Question

A botanist scrapes pollen off a flower of one plant and then uses it to pollinate the flower of another plant. What can be scientifically concluded about their offspring? A. They will have a large amount of genetic variation. B. They will have twice the number of chromosomes as their parents. C. They will be genetically distinct from their parents. D. They will be able to reproduce only asexually.

Answer 1

Answer:

They will be genetically distinct from their parents.

Explanation:

1. As a botanist scraped pollen off from a flower of one plant and pollinates the flower of another plant it shows that the botanist helped in the sexual reproduction of plants.

2. In sexual reproduction, two different gametes from two different parents are mixed which helps in the production of genetically different offspring because both the gamete could have different alleles of gene which increase the gene pool in population.

3. Therefore the offspring will be genetically distinct from their parents.

Answer 2

Answer:

they will be gentically disticnt from their parents
