Photorespiration can decrease soybeans’ photosynthetic output by about 50%. Would you expect this figure to be higher or lower in wild relative of the soybeans. why?

Respuesta :

You would expect this rate to be lower because in commercially produced soybeans, pretty much all of the organisms will share the genetic material because they are seeded from clones. 

Answer:

This figure will be lower in wild relative of the soybeans

Explanation:

In farm produce, the genetic diversity is controlled due to which species of any plant/crop cannot undergo genetic mutation and hence its evolution gets halted.

While in case of wild crop/plants, genetic diversification continues at natural pace.

By this logic wild soyabeans shall certainly evolve after a certain period of time to curb the losses occurring due to photorespiration

Hence, this figure will be lower in wild relative of the soybeans
