Unlike animal breeders and human geneticists, plant breeders rarely use pedigree charts in their work. Which is most likely the reason that plant breeders use other methods for analyzing results instead of constructing pedigree charts?

Plant breeders can produce and examine very large numbers of offspring in a single generation. With so many plants, they can compare groups and measure how often traits occur rather than track each individual’s family relationships in a pedigree chart. The correct choice is “Plants have many more offspring than most animals have.”
