Almost all commercial banana plants are genetically identical. Customers like the fact that
bananas sold in grocery stores are seedless and are consistent in size, color, and taste. Yet
scientists have recently discovered a problem facing the banana plants. Which statement
describes the MOST LIKELY risk to genetically identical banana plants? *
A. The plants grow more slowly than wild bananas
B. The fruits ripen too soon after they are harvested
C. The plants are susceptible to a new disease-causing fungus
D. The bananas have less nutritional value with each generation

step 1 ammonium can be absorbed by plants, but some is converted into nitrates which are better for plants to absorb. this is called nitrification. 2. step 2 the deer eats the plants and uses the nitrogen-containing proteins for cell growth. 3. step 3 bacteria in the soil conduct nitrogen fixation to convert nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into ammonium. 4. step 4 some of the nitrates are absorbed back into plants, but denitrification breaks down the nitrates into nitrogen gas released back into the atmosphere. 5. step 5 nitrogen is found in the urine, which gets broken down into ammonium through the process of ammonification. 6. step 6 plants absorb the ammonium and begin assimilation, the process to add the nitrogen to protein.
