The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (i):** "Conventional plant breeding is in practice from 9,000-11,000 years ago." - **Analysis:** Conventional plant breeding has been practiced for thousands of years, dating back to ancient agriculture. This statement is historically accurate. - **Conclusion:** **True** 2. **Statement (ii):** "Recombinant progeny is self-pollinated for several generations till they reach a state of heterozygosity." - **Analysis:** Recombinant progeny refers to offspring produced through genetic recombination. Self-pollination is typically used to stabilize traits and achieve homozygosity, not heterozygosity. Thus, this statement is misleading. - **Conclusion:** **False** 3. **Statement (iii):** "During the period 1960 to 2000 wheat production increased from 35 million tonnes to 89.5 million tonnes." - **Analysis:** The wheat production data during the Green Revolution indicates that wheat production increased significantly, but the figures provided in this statement do not align with historical records. In 1960, wheat production was around 11 million tonnes, and by 1990 it reached approximately 55 million tonnes. Therefore, the statement is incorrect. - **Conclusion:** **False** ### Final Answers: - (i) True - (ii) False - (iii) False
