A farmer grew only one type of onion. All of the onion plants died from the same disease. What can be said of this onion plant population.
A. Only few plants were resistant to the disease
B. All of the onion plants were resistant to the disease.
C. The onion plants were genetically identical.
D. The onion plants were genetically different from each other.
C is probably what your teacher wants, but I suspect there was some genetic variation, but not in the disease tolerance to this disease.
thank you.....
Okay, thank you so much!
Thankyou
A farmer grew only one type of onion. All of the onion plants died from the same disease. What can be said on this onion plant population?
To determine what can be said about the onion plant population, we need to consider the given information. The key points to consider are that the farmer grew only one type of onion, and all of the onion plants died from the same disease.
From this information, we can eliminate options B and D. If all of the onion plants died from the same disease, it means that none of them were resistant to it (option B). Additionally, since the farmer grew only one type of onion, it is highly likely that the plants were genetically identical (option D).
Therefore, the correct answer is option C: The onion plants were genetically identical.
I think the answer is D since if ALL the onions were genetically the same, they would have all died out. I guess the only onion that survived has a DIFFERENT genetic traits from the others who have died.
