Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The crossing between genetically unidentical plants to produce a new variety i.e., hybrid is called hybridisation. Crossing may be between two different varieties (intra varietal cross breeding) between two different species of some genus (interspecific cross breeding) and between different genera (intergeneric cross breeding). Genetically modified crops can be produced by insertion of genes with desired traits by the process of hybridisation.
