Find out the correct sentence.
Hybridisation means crossing between genetically dissimilar plants
Cross between two varieties is called as inter specific hybridisation
Introducing genes of desired character into a plant gives genetically modified crop
cross between plants of two species is called as inter varietal hybridisation

Options

A. (i) and (iii)
B. (ii) and (iv)
C. (ii) and (iii)
D. (iii) and (iv)

Answer

A

Explanation

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.
