Question

I am a scientist. I have created a plant with desired characters by choosing desired pollen and female parent and crossed them in my laboratory. Which type of experiment did I do?

• A. Plant regeneration
• B. Artificial hybridisation
• C. Hybrid generation
• D. Natural hybridisation

Answer 1

The correct option is B Artificial hybridisation

Artificial hybridisation is the production of hybrids by cross-pollinating two separate plants under controlled conditions often under the supervision of a plant breeder or a scientist. In artificial hybridisation, both the male parent (pollen) and female parent are selected prior to hybridisation.
