An amateur horticulturalist breeds tulips in the hopes of obtaining a flower with unique and desirable traits. After several gen
erations of tulips, success is achieved. If more tulips of this specific type are desired, then what would be the horticulturalist’s best option? A) Clone the desired tulip so there will be no genetic variations.
B) It is not possible to continually grow tulips with the same traits.
C) Continue to breed more tulips because the genetic variation will be the same.
D) Continue to breed more tulips because the genetic variation will be different.
Horticulturalist’s best option is clone the desired tulip so there will be no genetic variations.
Explanation:
Cloning is a process by which replica of organism is made without having any genetically variations. It is done carefully to avoid any variations in the office bring that may be related to physical or genetic structure.
The process of cloning should be done under the supervision of expert to avoid any error which could lead to the variation in genetic structure. It is very necessary for the amateur horticulturalist who desires to have dual apps without any genetic variation to perform cloning.
During metaphase I of Meiosis I , homologous sister chromosomes line up the metaphase plate in pairs. During anaphase I, the sister chromosomes of the pairs are separated and move to opposite poles. This way, the resulting daughter cells have half the chromosome number as the parent cell.
