Answer

To answer the question, we will fill in the blanks in the given statements based on the information provided in the video transcript.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

**A. When a hybrid is produced by** **fusion** **of somatic cells of two varieties or species, it is known as** **somatic hybridization**.
- Explanation: Somatic hybridization refers to the process of creating hybrids by fusing somatic cells from different varieties or species.

**B.** **Micropropagation** **is the tissue culture technique used for rapid vegetative multiplication of ornamental plants and fruit trees by using small-sized explants.**
- Explanation: Micropropagation is a widely used technique in plant tissue culture for the rapid multiplication of plants.

**C.** **Germplasm** **is the sum total of all the alleles of the genes present in a crop and its related species.**
- Explanation: Germplasm refers to the genetic material of plants, including all the alleles present in a species.

**D. A** **mule** **is a hybrid of a male donkey and a female horse.**
- Explanation: A mule is the offspring resulting from the crossbreeding of a male donkey (jack) and a female horse (mare).

**E. The hybrid between the female donkey and male horse is called** **hinny**.
- Explanation: A hinny is the hybrid that results from crossing a female donkey (jenny) with a male horse (stallion).

### Final Answers:
- A: fusion, somatic hybridization
- B: Micropropagation
- C: Germplasm
- D: mule
- E: hinny
