Question

Find out the correct sentence:

A. Hybridization means crossing between genetically dissimilar plants.
B. Cross between two varieties is called as Interspecific hybridization.
C. Introducing genes of desired character into a plant gives genetically modified crop.
D. Cross between plants of two species is called as intravarietal hybridization.

Answer 1

The correct sentence about hybridization and genetically modified crops is A. 'Hybridization means crossing between genetically dissimilar plants'. Option C is also correct in describing the production of GMOs. The correct sentence is: A. Hybridization means crossing between genetically dissimilar plants.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student was asked to identify the correct sentence from a set of options regarding hybridization and genetically modified crops. The correct sentence is: A. Hybridization means crossing between genetically dissimilar plants.

Hybridization is the process of mating two true-breeding individuals with different traits to produce hybrids. When hybridization occurs between different species, it is referred to as interspecific hybridization, while within the same species but different varieties, it is called intraparietal hybridization.

Sentence C, which states that introducing genes of desired character into a plant yields a genetically modified crop, is also correct, as it describes the process of creating GMOs (genetically modified organisms). The correct sentence is: A. Hybridization means crossing between genetically dissimilar plants.
