Question

A plant grows faster and fuller due to large amounts of fertilizer. If the plant cross-pollinates with another plant later, how will the use of fertilizer on the parent plant affect the plant’s offspring?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is "C" because nothing that your parents do, unless it directly affects/changes the gametes, will pass down to the offspring. Fertilizer is like food, how much your parents have eaten in their childhoods will have no effect on if you are under or over weight. (Unless their weight was by a genetic cause, that might have been passed on to you.)
