The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Allopolyploidy**: - Allopolyploidy refers to a type of polyploidy where the chromosomes are derived from different species. It is a significant mechanism in plant evolution, leading to the creation of new species. 2. **Identifying Man-Made Allopolyploid Cereal Crops**: - The question specifically asks for a man-made allopolyploid cereal crop. This means we need to look for a cereal crop that has been artificially created through hybridization of two different species. 3. **Analyzing the Given Options**: - The options provided are: - a) Hortium vulgaris - b) Strytegill - c) Rhaenobrassica - d) Triticale (Gea maize) - We need to determine which of these is a man-made allopolyploid cereal crop. 4. **Identifying Triticale**: - Triticale is a hybrid created from the crossing of two species: Triticum (wheat) and Secale (rye). It is specifically developed as a cereal crop and is recognized as a man-made allopolyploid. 5. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the correct answer to the question is **Triticale** (option d). ### Final Answer: The man-made allopolyploid cereal crop is **Triticale**. ---
