Explanation for Question 49 From the Reading Section on the 2021 May Sat (International)

Hey guys. So question 49 is a little bit of a hard one. 2 It's telling us based on the passage, 3 if hypothetical fertility data on two cross pollinated plants that seem 4 to be at the same species. So two plants, 5 um, seem to be of same species, 6 same species question. Mark shows an 80% 7 drop minus 80% in seed production, 8 which choice is a reasonable conclusion. 9 So the data from this passage was looking at these two different plans that 10 seem to be of the same species and seeing a drop in seed production 11 of a large percentage. And based off of this, 12 they're saying that there's likelihood that these plants are moving away from being the 13 same species, even though they are right now, 14 they might not be soon. And these large drop-offs and seed production are showing 15 our ways to show these plants aren't of the same species that's, 16 what's highlighted in the passage. 17 And you can go back and get proof of that by just rereading like 18 around here and understanding what they're saying. 19 So our options are D the offspring of the plants are hybrid. 20 So that's not what we're getting as a reasonable 21 conclusion here. Um, it's not what we're looking 22 at is how is this 80% reduction, 23 um, giving us a reasonable conclusion in regards to plants for chiller data. 24 We don't, we weren't really getting talking about like how the hybrids work or 25 what's the data on hybrids here. So he says the offspring of the plants 26 will have 100% reduction for Chels...
