which of the following could be a result of selective breeding?\n○ corn having potato offspring\n○ higher yield in corn reproduction\n○ rose bushes that grow without water\n○ pine trees that never produce seeds

Answer

Brief Explanations:

Selective breeding involves choosing organisms with desired traits to reproduce, aiming to enhance those traits. Corn with higher yield is achievable by selecting corn plants with higher yield potential over generations. Corn can’t have potato offspring (different species, no selective breeding can do that). Rose bushes need water, and selective breeding can’t make them grow without it. Pine trees reproduce via seeds, and selective breeding can’t make them seedless (unlike seedless fruits via other methods, pine seedlessness isn’t a result of selective breeding here). So the correct option is the one about higher corn yield.

Answer:

B. higher yield in corn reproduction (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with A: corn having potato offspring, B: higher yield in corn reproduction, C: rose bushes that grow without water, D: pine trees that never produce seeds)
