This process is called “crossing over.”
It will increase genetic diversity in gametes, so option A would be correct I believe !
Answer:
Balanced
Explanation:
It should be understood that the method used above by the farmers is known as artificial crossing, or artificial insemination when describing the act in animals.
This method is usually adopted to achieve an excellent results from two organisms of different traits.
In this case, the plant or crop with small fruits might have some needed traits like ability to withstand drought, which the other plants with big fruits does not have.
Therefore, the crossing will help to produced a plant which its fruit will be balanced with both traits.
Technically you are able to argue both ends. Biotic factors are living things while abiotic factors are no living things. since the plant was once living, you can argue that it is a biotic factor, however, I would say the dead plant decay would be abiotic because it is not living anymore. I hope that helped!
