Arrange the steps of somatic hybridization in correct chronological order:
I. Protoplast fusion using electric shock (electrofusion) or chemical treatment.
II. The removal of the cell wall of one cell of each type of plant using cellulase enzyme to produce a somatic cell called a protoplast
III. The formation of the cell wall induced using hormones
IV. The cells are then grown into calluses which then are further grown to plantlets and finally to a full plant, known as a somatic hybrid.
1. I → II → III → IV
2. I → II → IV → III
3. II → I → III → IV
4. II → I → IV → III

Quality protein maize (QPM) is a family of maize varieties. QPM grain contains nearly twice as much amino acids that are limiting amino acids in grains. These amino acids are:
1. Lysine and tryptophan
2. Methionine and cysteine
3. Glutamic acid and aspartic acid
4. Threonine and tyrosine

Plant tissue culture may offer certain advantages over traditional methods of propagation, including all the following except:
| 1. | The production of plants that exhibit large variations from the parent plants. |
| 2. | Quickly production of mature plants. |
| 3. | The regeneration of whole plants from plant cells that have been genetically modified. |
| 4. | Storage of genetic plant material to safeguard native plant species. |
