Why is Arabidopsis thaliana a good research tool? Select all that apply. It has a rapid life cycle. It has a small, diploid genome that has been completely sequenced since 2000. It is difficult to cultivate Self pollination (hermaphroditic) There are very few mutant lines available for genetic research There are extensive genetic and physical maps of all 5 chromosomes. It produces very few seeds each generation.

Explanation:

Arabidopsis: Arabidopsis thaliana is  a model genetic organism in the field of research. It has a short life cycle, small plant size, rapid life rate and efficient reproduction through self-pollination and many other qualities made Arabidopsis thaliana a good research tool.

The importance of Arabidopsis thaliana  to biotechnology is that genes isolated from Arabidopsis can also be used to find their homologs in crop plants too.

the correct answer to this question is #5
