(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)


Question-2

Which of the following is generally used for induced mutagenesis in crop plants?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (c)

Gamma rays are produced when an unstable atomic nucleus like cobalt-60 releases energy to gain stability. Sharbati Sonora and Pusa Lerma are the two important varieties of wheat that are responsible for green revolution in India. These are produced by gamma rays treatment of Sonora-64 and Lerma Rojo- 64 which are Mexican dwarf wheat varieties.


Question-3

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Answer: (b)

In the sugarcane crop, a sugarcane farmer looks for thick stem, long internodes, high sugar content and disease resistance. In practice, Saccharum barberi and Saccharum officinarum are being used to develop such combination during practice.

In north India Saccharum barberi was originally grown, but had poor sugar content and yield. Tropical canes grown in South India, Sccharum officinarum had thicker stems and higher sugar content but did not grow well in North India.


Question-4

On the basis of the following process, answer the question.
  1. gene transfer
  2. transfer of cytoplasm
  3. production of useful allopolyploids
Which of the following term is used in the given process?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (b)

The process by which protoplasts of two different plant species fuse together to form hybrids is known as somatic hybridization and the hybrids so produced are known as somatic hybrids. Somatic hybrids are used in gene transfer, transfer of cytoplasm and production of useful alloploids.


Question-5

Which one of the following is a freshwater fish?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (d)

Labeo rohita (Rohu), Catla catla (Catla), Mystus cinghala (Singhara), Clarias batracus (Magur), Wallago attu (Malli), Heteropneustes (Singhi) and common carps (fam. Cyprinidae) are all fresh water fishes.
