    Question

    Which method is primarily used for genetic improvement

    in highly heterozygous, asexually propagated species like sugarcane and potato?
    A Bulk method Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Out crossing Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Polyploidy breeding Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Backcross method Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Mutation breeding Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Since sugarcane and potato are asexually propagated , they do not rely on sexual reproduction for breeding. This makes mutation breeding a suitable option for introducing genetic variability into these crops without needing to cross different varieties or species.
