Question
unlike animal breeders and human geneticists, plant breeders rarely use pedigre likely the reason that plant breeders use other methods for analyzing results inst plants have many more offspring than most animals have. plants have too many important traits to show in a pedigree. plants change only through mutation, not breeding. plants change too much in each generation to show in a pedigree.
Pedigree analysis tracks trait inheritance through related individuals over generations, which is more feasible for organisms with fewer offspring where lineage can be clearly traced. Plants typically produce far more offspring than most animals, making pedigree tracking impractical as it would be too cumbersome to document and follow the lineage of such large numbers of progeny. The other options are incorrect: plants do not have too many traits to represent in a pedigree, plants do change through breeding (the core of plant breeding), and plant generation-to-generation changes are not inherently too extreme for pedigree representation.
