Question

Desired improved variety of economically useful crops are raised by

• A. Mutation
• B. Hybridization
• C. Biofertilizers
• D. Natural selection

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Hybridization

Hybridization is the process of making a cross between the two genetically diverse parents to obtain a progeny with the desired traits. When a hybridization is performed between the two plants, it is called as a single cross and when it is performed between more than two parents, it is called as multiple crosses. (e.g., development of C-306 wheat variety).

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
