Which of the following best describes what would happen if the offspring of a fragrant, red rose bush produced flowers with no scent and small, pale petals? PLEASE HELP

OpenStudy (kayne):

Hey @cheyennek! Could you please list down the options so that we can help you out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The offspring would not cross-fertilize often with other roses. The offspring would yield more fruit than the parent rose. The offspring would lose its flowers and die from a lack of pollinators. The offspring would produce seeds by asexual reproduction. @kanye

OpenStudy (kayne):

Well, the purpose of the scent of the flower and the colorful petals are to lure the pollinators (bees) and walk them to the reproductive part of the flower respectively. Also, roses do not produce seeds via asexual reproduction. Taking into account what I just told you, what according to you could be the answer @cheyennek?
