Question

Which of the following is not used for crop improvement?

• A. Inbreeding
• B. Introduction
• C. Hybridization
• D. Mutations

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Inbreeding

Inbreeding is a method of breeding from closely related people or animals. It usually doesn't lead to much change in characters of an organism and not used in plants. Whereas, introduction, hybridisation and mutations are methods of plant breeding and help in including the characteristic genes of an improved plant variety into a plant which lacks that character.
