If cloves are separated from the bulb and later planted in a garden, a new garlic bulb will grow from each. In this way, a home
gardener could grow a whole crop of genetically identical garlic plants starting with one bulb. As a result of this procedure, the gardener would soon have several varieties of garlic growing in his garden
need to buy new garlic cloves each year in order to keep growing garlic
have to fertilize the female garlic plants each year so the garlic plants could produce their own cloves
need to be aware that if any of his garlic plants became diseased, it could very likely infect the entire crop
<em>The correct option is D) need to be aware that if any of his garlic plants became diseased, it could very likely infect the entire crop</em>
Explanation:
If cloves from a bulb are taken and grown, then the plants formed will be identical to each other. As a result, there will be no genetic varieties in the garlic plants being produced. Hence, when a diseases eradicates, it will affect the entire plants of the garden as they would be genetically identically, Variations would have allowed some of the plants to be resistant for the disease and hence some of the plant species could be saved by genetic variations.
