In mung bean the resistance to yellow mosaic virus and powdery mildew were introduced by:
1. Mutations
2. Hybridization
3. Tissue culture
4. Genetic engineering
Pusa Shubhra, an improved variety of cauliflower, is resistant to:
1. White rust
2. Bacterial blight
3. Black rot
4. Leaf curl
Inbreeding depression in animals can be overcome by:
1. A single outcross
2. Out cross for many generations
3. Cross-breeding
4. Inter-specific hybridization
Consider the following statements:
I: | Hairy leaves are associated with resistance to jassids in cotton and cereal leaf beetle in wheat. |
II: | Low aspartic acid, high nitrogen, and sugar content in maize leads to resistance to maize stem borers. |
III. | In wheat, solid stems lead to non-preference by the stem sawfly and smooth-leaved and nectar-less varieties of cotton do not attract bollworms. |
Which of the above statements are true?
1. I and II only
2. I and III only
3. II and III only
4. I, II and III

Homozygous purelines in cattle can be obtained by
(1) mating of related individuals of same breed
(2) mating of unrelated individuals of same breed
(3) mating of individuals of different breed
(4) mating of individuals of different species
Interspecific hybridisation is the mating of
(1) animals within same breed without having common ancestors
(2) two different related species
(3) superior males and females of different breeds
(4) more closely related individuals within same breed for 4-6 generations
A system of rotating crops with legume or grass pasture to improve soil structure and
fertility is called
1. contour farming
2. strip farming
3. shifting agriculture
4. ley farming
Outbreeding is an important stategy of animal husbandry because it
1. help in accumulation of superior genes
2. is useful in producing purelines of animals
3. is useful in overcoming inbreeding depression
4. exposes harmful recessive genes that are eliminated by selection
In plant breeding programmes, the entire collection (of plants/seeds) having all the diverse alleles for all genes in a given crop is called
1. selection of superior recombinations
2. cross-hybridisation among the selected parents
3. evaluation and selection of parents
4. germplasm collection
