Interspecific hybridisation is the mating of

  1. animals within same breed without having common ancestors
  2. superior males and females of different breeds
  3. more closely related individuals within same breed for 4-6 generations
  4. two different related species

Answer

(4) two different related species

Solution

(1) Mating of animals within the same breed but having no common ancestors up to 4–6 generations is out-crossing.

(2) Mating of superior males and females of different breeds is cross-breeding.

(3) Mating of more closely related individuals within the same breed for 4–6 generations is inbreeding.

(4) As per NCERT, in interspecific hybridisation, male and female animals of two different related species are mated (e.g. mule from a female horse and a male donkey).

Outbreeding is an important strategy of animal husbandry because it :

  1. helps in accumulation of superior genes.
  2. is useful in overcoming inbreeding depression.
  3. is useful in producing purelines of animals.
  4. exposes harmful recessive genes that are eliminated by selection.

  1. germplasm collection
  2. evaluation and selection of parents
  3. selection of superior recombinants

Tissue culture technique can produce infinite number of new plants from a small parental tissue. The economic importance of the technique is in raising:

  1. development of new species
  2. genetically uniform population identical to the original parent
  3. variants through picking up somaclonal variations
  4. homozygous diploid plants

  1. Somatic embryos can develop from microspores
  2. Somatic embryo is induced usually by an auxin such as 2,4-D
  3. The pattern of development of a somatic embryo is comparable to that of a zygotic embryo
  4. A somatic embryo develops from a somatic cell
