Question

During hybridisation, we get a large number of progenies with mixed characters, but we choose only superior progeny by evaluation and selection.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

When we are creating breeds with many desirable traits, there are numerous types of progeny possible. So, the next step is to select the superior progeny, with the desired combination of traits. The selection process is crucial for successful breeding and it requires careful scientific evaluation of the progenies. It is this selection process that yields plants that are superior to both the parents.
