The most relevant response is:

Can compare similarities found in reference sequences to determine any potential relations.

Genotyping involves analyzing the genetic material of the plant to identify its DNA sequences and comparing them with reference sequences from known species. This comparison can help determine the evolutionary relationships and classification of the new species.
