[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

All four responses are correct. Genotyping can be used to determine what the plant is by analyzing its DNA or genetic material. By comparing the plant's DNA sequence to reference sequences or known sequences of other plants, scientists can identify any potential relations and determine its species. Additionally, genotyping can also help in studying the plant's function by analyzing the proteins that are essential for its survival. It can also provide information about the plant's origins and any potential migration patterns. Genotyping can also help determine which diseases the plant may be resistant to, which can be useful for further study and understanding its overall characteristics and capabilities.
