Question

Match the columns.
A. Intervarietal I)Cross between two species of the same genus
B.Interspecific 2) Cross between two different genera
C.Intergeneric 3) Cross between two different varieties

• A. A- 2, B- 1, C- 3
• B. A- 3, B- 2, C- 1
• C. A- 3, B- 1, C- 2
• D. A- 1, B- 2, C- 3

Answer 1

The correct option is C A- 3, B- 1, C- 2

Intervarietal hybridization is the process in which parents involved in hybridization belong to the same species but different varieties. For example, crossing of two varieties of wheat or other crops. Interspecific hybrids are bred by mating two species, normally from within the same genus but different species. Hybrids between different genera (such as between sheep and goats) are known as intergeneric hybrids.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
