The most appropriate response regarding how genotyping can help scientists determine what the new plant species is would be:

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

Genotyping allows scientists to analyze the genetic material of a new species and compare it to known species. This helps in determining its evolutionary relationships and identifying its classification within the plant kingdom.
