Why is Arabidopsis thaliana a good research tool? Select all that apply.
It has a rapid life cycle.
The genetic and physical maps of all 5 chromosomes are not yet complete.
It produces very few seeds each generation.
Self pollination (hermaphroditic)
There are very few mutant lines available for genetic research
It is easy to cultivate
It has a small, diploid genome that has been completely sequenced since 2000.
Good rrseares tool means easily available,easy to handle,have ,short life span,produce many offspring etc.
1st ,6th and 7th are correct reason for using this plant as research tool.Hermaphrodite character is also good when we have to study self-pollination but not good when we have to study cross-pollination.
