2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I.
3. I is correct and II is incorrect.
4. Both I and II are incorrect.

| 3. | Resistance to the yellow mosaic virus in mung bean was introduced by mutations and in bhindi was transferred from wild varieties |
| 4. | Resistance to the yellow mosaic virus in bhindi was introduced by mutations and in mung bean was transferred from wild varieties |
Consider the given two statements:
| I: | Inbreeding results in more recessive traits manifesting themselves in the progeny. |
| II: | Recessive traits can only occur in an offspring if present in both parents' genomes. |
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I.
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I.
3. I is correct and II is incorrect.

Lysine and tryptophan are:
1. proteins
2. non-essential amino acids
3. essential amino acids
4. aromatic amino acids.
Which of the following steps in a plant breeding program actually brings about the improvement?
1. Germplasm collection
2. Hybridization
3. Selection of superior recombinant
4. Testing of the cultivars
The selection in cross-pollinated crops ultimately aims at:
| 1. | selecting the most desirable pureline. |
| 2. | increasing the frequency of superior genotypes without reducing heterozygosity. |
| 3. | removing all true breeding varieties from the germplasm and hybridizing only heterozygous varieties. |
| 4. | converting purelines into apomicts to prevent segregation of desired traits. |
