Question

The technique involving the isolation and fusion of protoplasts and culturing the hybrid protoplast to regenerate the whole plant is known as

• A. Para sexual hybridisation
• B. Genetic engineering
• C. Protoplast culture
• D. Androgenic hapolids

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Protoplast culture

A. Parasexual hybridisation is a technique of protoplast fusion and hybrid plants are raised in cultures.

B. Genetic engineering is the manipulation of an organism's genetic material and is also known as recombinant DNA technology.

C. Protoplast culture is the technique in which protoplast are isolated and fused and the resulting hybrids are cultured which regenerate into a whole plant.

D. Androgenic haploids are the haploid plants which are raised by culture of anthers or pollen.

So, the correct answer is 'Protoplast culture'.
