The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the evolution of the new crop triticale through intergeneric hybridization, follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Concept of Intergeneric Hybridization**: - Intergeneric hybridization refers to the crossing of plants from different genera. This is important for creating new plant varieties with desirable traits. 2. **Identify the Options Provided**: - (a) Wheat and Aegilops - (b) Wheat and rice - (c) Rice and Maize - (d) Rye and wheat 3. **Recall the Definition of Triticale**: - Triticale is a hybrid crop that is specifically known for being developed from the cross between wheat and rye. It combines the high yield potential of wheat with the stress resistance of rye. 4. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Option (a)**: Wheat and Aegilops - This does not lead to triticale. - **Option (b)**: Wheat and rice - This does not lead to triticale. - **Option (c)**: Rice and Maize - This does not lead to triticale. - **Option (d)**: Rye and wheat - This is the correct pairing that results in triticale. 5. **Select the Correct Answer**: - Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **(d) Rye and wheat**. ### Final Answer: The new crop triticale has been evolved by intergeneric hybridization between **Rye and wheat**. ---
