Question

Suppose you grabbed ten seeds from the large number of seeds that were present and planted them in a garden. During the summer you harvest 100 bean seeds from these 10 groups of plants? Would you wee the same distribution of seed size as when you first planted the seeds? Explain.

I don't understand how to reason my answer. Because no you wouldn't get the same size but why?

Answer 1

The beans are not uniform in genetics, all are different. They will have slight difference to grown in your environment, soil, insects, disease. Those which have some genetic advantage to these pressures, will thrive more than the others, so your harvest will reflect those which have an advantage.

Answer 2

THANK YOU!! :)
