The two-pots analogy in this figure is used to illustrate which of the following?
A) Because the two environments are very different (poor soil versus rich soil) , no conclusions can be drawn about possible overall genetic differences between the plants in pot A and the plants in pot B.
B) Because the seeds are not genetically identical, the plants within pot A and within pot B will have the same variability in height and this variation within each group of seeds is completely due to environmental factors.
C) Because the two environments are very different (poor soil versus rich soil) , it can be concluded that differences between the plants in pot A and the plants in pot B are due entirely to genetic factors.
D) Because the seeds are not genetically identical, the plants in pot A will be taller than the plants in pot B and this difference between each group of seeds is due completely to genetic factors.
