Question

Which of the following practices can be related to hybridisation?

• A. Segregation
• B. Recombination
• C. Variation
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

All of the above

Hybrid plants can be developed by the breeding of the plants of different species. This is known as the process of hybridization. The parents are genetically different plants. There is segregation of the characters which results in the formation of offspring which have superior characters when compared to the parents. There is recombination which introduces certain new genes in the offspring. Due to genetic recombination, variations are produced. The offsprings are genetically different from the individual parents.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
