Answer:

Plants will no longer use the resources to produce flowers but will convert those resources to produce seeds

Step-by-step explanation:

Wisconsin Fast Plants are variety of Brassica rapa that was developed in order to improve the ability of cruciferous crops to resist to diseases.

After cross pollination( transfer of pollen from another to stigma of two different plants), using cut method, it will be difficult to close the flower bud that was cut, the resources or nutrients that will be needed to produce another flower will be use to produce seeds because the flower bud cannot be close and the bud are exposed as new flowers.
