| 2. | Increased genetic variability in the population |
| 3. | Increased potential for genetic selection |
| 4. | Reduced disease transmission |
The purposeful manipulation of plant species in order to create desired plant types that are better suited for cultivation, give better yields, and are disease resistant is called:
| 1. | Breeding | 2. | Genetic farming |
| 3. | Phytoremediation | 4. | r DNA technology |
A pure line plant:
| 1. | is defined as having only recessive alleles for the traits at all loci |
| 2. | breeds true and preserves the trait for many generations |
| 3. | is not susceptible to any diseases and is used as a parent in plant breeding experiments |
| 4. | can be produced by inbreeding amongst the endemic varieties only |

| 1. | cellular totipotency | 2. | indeterminate growth |
| 3. | phenotypic plasticity | 4. | secondary growth |
Consider the given two statements:
| I: | Somatic hybridization and cybridization have great potential for plant improvement. |
| II: | Somatic hybridization through protoplast fusion provides the ability to combine parent genes in higher plants to overcome sexual incompatibility among plant species or genera. |
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is correct but II is incorrect
4. Both I and II are incorrect
Consider the following two statements:
| I: | In spite of having more than 70 percent of the world's livestock population, the contribution of India and China to the world's farm produce is only 25 percent. |
| II: | The productivity per unit of cattle in these countries is very low. |
1. Both I and II are true and II explains I
2. Both I and II are true but II does not explain I
3. I is true but II is false
4. Both statements are not true
