while trying to generate a new variety of an agricultural crop, you are tasked with ensuring that the plants are sterile, so that new seeds must be purchased every year. you decide to use a strategy that will interfere with meiosis such that viable gametes are unable to form. which strategy is most likely to be successful?

Answer :

ANTHOUGOIN

The successful strategy that will interfere with the meiosis, making viable gametes unable to form is B. Develop a triploid variety.

Triploid production strategy ensures the presence of three sets of haploid (single) gametes in the meiosis, creating a reproductive barrier because of the segregation of the unbalanced gametes. This process makes the offspring plants sterile and unable to reproduce.

The options should be the following:

A. Create plants from cuttings of a diploid variety.

B. Develop a variety that is triploid.

C. Develop a variety that is tetraploid.

D. Develop a variety that is trisomic.

E. Develop a variety that lacks centrioles.

Thus, the successful strategy to adopt to ensure the plants are sterile is Option B.
