To produce larger seeds, researchers cross two varieties of a grain.These researchers are attempting to cause
A) aneuploidy.
B) autopolyploidy.
C) allopolyploidy.
D) apoptosis.
E) translocation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Allopolyploidy involves crossing two different species to produce a hybrid with a doubled set of chromosomes. This can result in larger seeds, as in the case of the researchers in the given scenario who are crossing two varieties of a grain. Aneuploidy, autopolyploidy, apoptosis, and translocation do not involve the crossing of different species and are not relevant to the given scenario.
