Question

Given below is the flow chart showing the process of somatic hybridisation. Identify A, B, C, D and E.

• A. A- Cell fusion, B- Nuclear fusion, C-Cellulose and pectinase, D-Protoplast, E- Somatic hybrid cell
• B. A - Cellulose and pectinase, B - Protoplast, C - Cell fusion, D- Nuclear fusion, E- Somatic hybrid cell
• C. A-Protoplast, B-Nuclear fusion, C-Somatic hybrid cell, D - Cellulose and pectinase,E - Cell fusion
• D. A- Cellulose and pectinase, B- Protoplast, C-Nuclear fusion, D-Cell fusion, E - Somatic hybrid cell

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

A - Cellulose and pectinase, B - Protoplast, C - Cell fusion, D- Nuclear fusion, E- Somatic hybrid cell

In somatic hybridisation , we isolate naked protoplasts by digesting their cell walls using digesting enzymes. Then isolated protoplasts fused together to form a hybrid protoplast which further grown to form a new plant.

So, the correct option is 'Option B' .
