Insect resistance in host crop plants may be due to morphological, biochemical, or physiological characteristics. Identify the correct statements:
| I: | Hairy leaves in several plants are associated with resistance to jassids in cotton and cereal leaf beetle in wheat. |
| II: | In wheat, solid stems lead to non-preference by the stem sawfly and smooth-leaved and nectar-less cotton varieties do not attract bollworms. |
| III. | High aspartic acid, low nitrogen and sugar content in maize lead to resistance to maize stem borers. |
| 1. | Only I and II | 2. | Only I and III |
| 3. | Only II and III | 4. | I, II and III |

Which of the following is the most important factor that would lead to increased milk yield
in cattle?
1. Selection of good breeds
2. Selection of good breeds
3. Stringent cleanliness and hygiene

Amongst the following, the number of freshwater fishes are:
Catla, Rohu, Common carp, Hilsa, Sardines, Mackerel, Pomfrets.
| 1. | 2 | 2. | 3 |
| 3. | 4 | 4. | 5 |
Consider the following two statements:
| I: | An effective germplasm collection is the prerequisite of any successful plant breeding programme. |
| II: | Genetic variability is the root of any breeding programme. |
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. I is false but II is true.
Before releasing new cultivars in plant breeding programs, their testing includes all the following except:
| 1. | growing these in the research fields and recording their performance under ideal fertiliser application, irrigation, and other crop management practices. |
| 2. | testing the materials in farmers’ fields, for one growing season at selected locations in the country |
| 3. | comparison to the best available local crop cultivar – a check or reference cultivar |
| 4. | taking care of all patent and legal issues |
Hisardale is a new breed of:
| 1. | Sheep developed by crossing Bikaneri ewes and Marino rams. |
| 2. | Sheep developed by crossing Bikaneri rams and Marino ewes. |
| 3. | Goat developed by crossing Bikaneri ewes and Marino rams. |
| 4. | Goat developed by crossing Bikaneri rams and Marino ewes. |
Arrange the following steps of a plant breeding program in a correct chronological manner:
| I. | Selection and testing of superior recombinants |
| II. | Collection of variability |
| III. | Cross hybridisation among the selected parents |
| IV. | Evaluation and selection of parents |
| V. | Testing, release, and commercialisation of new cultivars |
| 1. | II, IV, I, III, V | 2. | IV, I, II, III, V |
| 3. | II, IV, III, I, V | 4. | IV, III, II, I, V |
Conventional breeding is often constrained by the availability of a limited number of disease-resistance genes that are present and identified in various crop varieties or wild relatives. This is most commonly overcome by:
| 1. | Inducing mutations | 2. | Somaclonal variations |
| 3. | Genetic engineering | 4. | Plant introduction |
