Assertion (A): | Crop improvement by mutation breeding is based on induced mutations. |
Reason (R): | Mutation creates genetic variations through changes in the base sequence within genes resulting in the creation of a new character or trait not found in the parental type. |

I: | New cultivars produced by plant breeding are first evaluated in research fields and their performance is recorded under ideal fertiliser application, irrigation, and other crop management practices. |
II: | After evaluation in research fields, the new cultivars are tested in farmers’ fields for at least three growing seasons at several locations in the country. |
