order to produce more ears of corn per plant. farmer brown is not sure about farmer green's idea. why might farmer brown be hesitant to clone his corn?
a.cloning the corn plants is difficult and expensive to accomplish.
b.the cloned corn would not have the same taste as the original plants.
c.cloning eliminates the ability to sexually reproduce and provide genetic variability.
d.cloned plants would have increased genetic variability as well as a shortened life expectancy.

One issue with cloned plants is that they are all the same. Yes, they may all yield the same delicious corn- but if one thing goes wrong, that would be detrimental.

What if that one clone population of corn was weak against one type of mold, for example? If that mold was able to infect just one- it'll eventually spread like wildfire to all the other clone plants & wipe out an entire crop.

That would be a huge waste of money, time, resources &, most saddening of all: no corn...

So, the answer choice should be C.

Hope that helps!

1.) What gives water all its properties? 2.) What type of bond joins H2O to another H2O and forms cohesion? 3.) What property of
Yuri [45]

Answer:

1. polarity

2. hydrogen bonding

3. High heat capacity

4. Adhesion

5. polarity

6. surface tension

7. high heat vaporization

8. hydrogen bonds form a rigid and stable network

9. Water is a polar substance and fat is a nonpolar substance.

10. Cohesion

Explanation:

Water is a polar molecule that is held together by hydrogen bonds to form strong cohesive forces. This accounts for the surface tension in water. Surface tension is the force acting on water that it makes to behave like a stretched elastic skin.

The polarity of water accounts for the fact that it is found in several parts of the body where it largely plays the role of a polar solvent.

High heat capacity of water enables it to function well in the area of thermoregulation in the body. High heat vaporization accounts for the fact that water helps maintain extreme temperature changes in an area.

When in solid state, the hydrogen bonded network in water becomes rigid and forms a very stable network of water molecules. Being polar, water does  not interact with fat because like dissolves like.

In plants, the attachment of water to plant roots is known as adhesion and is necessary for the capillary movement of nutrients to plants via the root.
