Solution
The correct option is C Somatic hybridisation
Pomato is the hybrid formed from potato and tomato. This is an example of hybrid formed between species belonging to different genera (intergeneric kind). The technique of somatic hybridisation is used for its production. This involves fusion of plant protoplasts of two separate species followed by subsequent tissue culture to form a hybrid.
PCR is a technique used for amplification of a specific sequence of DNA.
DNA cloning is the process of creating multiple identical copies of a piece of DNA.
Somatic embryogenesis is the process of deriving an embryo artificially from a somatic cell.
