Gene is testing the idea that plants grow faster when they are spoken to. He plants five flowers in a pot (pot A) and five identical flowers in an identical pot (pot B).
Gene speaks to the flowers in potA for one hour every day, but not to the flowers in pot B. At the end of his experiment, Gene finds
that the flowers in pot A grew faster than those in pot B. This leads him the conclusion that plants grow faster when they are
spoken to.
Which of these is an alternative explanation for Gene's results?

Ов.
Plants grow faster when there are fewer of them in a pot
OC
