Answer:

C

Explanation:

Cloning reproduces the exact same crops identical to the plant from which the cloning tissue was taken. While this has the capacity to preserve the purity of a breed of plants with desired characteristics, it can also have undesirable effects. Without sexual reproduction, there would be no genetic variability of the crop. This means the plant will hardly adapt to environmental changes and could go extinct if not further genetically engineered.

Zolol [24]

Answer:

The question as the options lacking but based on the question we can infer the ANSWER

Based on the results of the experiment we can best say that urea will disrupt the function of the certain enzyme and that when the urea is removed the enzyme regained its function.

Mouse genetics gizmo objective
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Breed "pure" mice with known genotypes that exhibit specific fur colors, and learn how traits are passed on via dominant and recessive genes. Mice can be stored in cages for future breeding, and the statistics of fur color are reported every time a pair of mice breed. Punnett squares can be used to predict results.
