Three plants are grown in the same environmental conditions with equal sunlight, water, and space to grow. One plant grew to have a purple flower while the other two grew white flowers. What is the most likely conclusion that can be made for the change in flower color?(1 point) Genetic factors caused environmental changes that caused the differences in flower color.

Genetic factors caused the differences in flower color.

Environmental factors caused a genetic mutation that caused the differences in flower color.

Environmental conditions caused the differences in flower color.

The second answer choice.

Explanation:

Genetic variation must be the answer as the plants were grown in the same conditions. Therefore, the only source of variability might be genetic variation.

The first choice is not the answer because Genetic factors cannot cause the environment around the plant to change.

The third choice is not the answer because the Environmental factors are the same, and if they were really to cause a mutation, all three plants would mutate.

The fourth is the same reason as the third: if environemnt conditions affected the flower, all three plants would change color since they were all grown in the same environemnt, not just the one we see in the results.
