Abotanist scrapes pollen off a flower of one plant and then uses it to pollinate the flower of another plant. what can be scientifically concluded about their offspring? a. they will have a large amount of genetic variation. b. they will have twice the number of chromosomes as their parents. c. they will be genetically distinct from their parents. d. they will be able to reproduce only asexually.

The correct answer is option A, They will have a large amount of genetic variation

Reason -

The transfer of pollens from the flower of one plant to the flower of another plant,  is termed as cross pollination.  

During cross pollination, two major instances can occur –

a)The transferred pollens may be of wild nature  due to which fertilization of eggs do not take place .

b)The transferred pollens  can fuse with the egg of the parent plant and results into offspring’s that shall carry the characteristics of both the genetically distinct plants thereby producing hybrid plants.  

they both go up but then go back down. they both end lower than they started. lastly, they both are competitive/the second on.
