Arrange the steps of somatic hybridization in correct chronological order:
1. I → II → III → IV
2. I → II → IV → III
3. II → I → III → IV
4. II → I → IV → III
| I. | Protoplast fusion using electric shock (electrofusion) or chemical treatment. |
| II. | The removal of the cell wall of one cell of each type of plant using cellulase enzyme to produce a somatic cell called a protoplast |
| III. | The formation of the cell wall induced using hormones |
| IV. | The cells are then grown into calluses which then are further grown to plantlets and finally to a full plant, known as a somatic hybrid. |
1. I → II → III → IV
2. I → II → IV → III
3. II → I → III → IV
