A farmer is harvesting this seasons strawberries to be sold. The farmer discovered spotted strawberries which appear to grow well in all weather types and resist insects on their own unlike other varieties of strawberries that require additional pesticides to resist insects.Pesticides are substances used to repel or control forms of animal life considered to be pests.The next season, the farmer decided to get rid of the original strawberries and plans to only plant spotted strawberries. What is a result of this farmer's action?

A. A decrease in strawberry production

B. An increase in the use of pesticides on the farm.

C. A decrease in genetic diversity of the strawberries.

D. An increase in genetic variation of the strawberries

The answer is C

Explanation:

According to this question, a farmer who is preparing to harvest strawberries for sale noticed that spotted varieties of strawberries grew better in adverse conditions, including pest resistance, than every other strawberry variety. He then decided to plant only the spotted strawberries the following season. This means that he got rid of every other varieties.

Based on this, we would realize that that farmer is trying to naturally solve the problem of pest infestation, hence, REDUCING the use of pesticides on the farm.

- Also, spotted strawberry can be produced in mass, which will not affect/reduce the production of strawberries.

- Genetic diversity refers to the total number of different alleles, which is responsible for varying traits, in the genetic makeup of an organism. The farmer's action of planting only one variety of strawberries will DECREASE GENETIC DIVERSITY IN THE STRAWBERRY SPECIES.
