Question

(a) Name the technology that has helped scientists to propagate on a large scale the desired crops in a short duration. List the steps carried out to propagate the crops by the said technique.
(b) How are somatic hybrids obtained?
(b) wheat, rice and barley
(c) wheat, maize and sorghum
(d) rice, maize and sorghum

Answer 1

Wheat , rice and barley.

Answer 2

Answer:

With the help of tissue culture technique scientists are propagating the crops that are desired on a large scale in a very short duration. Since the nutrient media is full of carbon source, organic salts, vitamins, amino acids and the phytohormones, we can achieve propagation easily in a short time.

Somatic hybridization is a process in which we obtain somatic hybrids. Somatic parts of the plant are hybridized using this method. In this process, the protoplasts are isolated and fused that helps in the formation of the new variety.

wheat rice and barley is the right option
