If a horticulturist breeding gardenias succeeds in having a single plant with a particularly desirable set of traits, which of the following would be her most probable and efficient route to establishing a line of such plants?
a) backtrack through her previous experiments to obtain another plant with the same traits. b) breed this plant with another plant with much weaker traitsc) clone the plant. d) force the plant to self-pollinate to obtain an identical one.

C -Clone the plant

Explanation:

Having a single plant, a hortuculturist will choose  an efficient route to replicate the traits he requires.Therefore, If a horticulturist breeding gardenia were to chose an option he  would most probably use Cloning.Cloning is the method that permits  propagation of large numbers of plants with a particularly desirable set of traits.When plants are propagated, it means that they're produced in large numbers in order to establishing a line of such plants.

in situ hybridization has been widely used for research applications, including clinical cytogenetics, gene mapping, tumor biology and studies of chromosome evolution.

you did not attach the discourse, but i assume it to be the discourse on the origin and basis of inequality among men (the original titile in french is: "discours sur l'origine et les fondements de l'inégalité parmi les hommes"), also know as "second discourse". in this discourse, jean-jacques rousseau emphasizes that private property is the basis of all inequalities.

therefore, what enabled the old regime to maintain as long as it did was private property.
