Plant Breeding and Genetics MCQs
Conventional Plant Breeding: Uses traditional methods like selection, hybridization, and backcrossing to develop improved varieties based on observable traits.
Molecular Genetics: Studies the structure, function, and regulation of genes at the DNA/RNA level, including genome mapping and sequencing.
Cytogenetics: Focuses on chromosome structure, number, behavior, and their role in inheritance and variation.
Quantitative Genetics: Deals with the inheritance of traits controlled by multiple genes (polygenes) and their interaction with the environment.
Mutation Breeding: Induces genetic variation through chemical or physical mutagens to create new traits for crop improvement.
Marker-Assisted Breeding: Uses molecular markers and genome information to select desirable traits faster and more accurately than traditional methods.
Hybrid Breeding: Develops F₁ hybrids to exploit heterosis (hybrid vigor) for traits like yield, disease resistance, or stress tolerance.
Transgenic Breeding: Incorporates genes from the same or different species into plants using biotechnological tools to improve traits like pest resistance or nutritional quality.
Population Genetics: Studies genetic variation, allele frequencies, and evolution within plant populations over time.
Reproductive Biology and Breeding Systems: Focuses on understanding pollination, mating systems, self- and cross-fertilization, and their implications for breeding strategies. Plant Breeding and Genetics MCQs
Gene: A gene is a functional unit of heredity consisting of a DNA sequence that influences a trait or phenotype.
Allele: An allele is an alternative form of a gene occupying the same locus on homologous chromosomes.
Genotype: The genotype is the genetic constitution of an organism or specific gene set that determines potential expression.
Phenotype: The phenotype is the observable expression of a genotype influenced by the environment.
Hybridization: Hybridization is the deliberate crossing of genetically different plants to combine desirable traits.
Pure Line: A pure line is a genetically uniform population derived from repeated self-pollination of a single homozygous individual.
Heritability: Heritability is the proportion of phenotypic variation attributable to genetic variation within a population.
Heterosis (Hybrid Vigor): Heterosis is the superior performance of hybrids compared with their parents for one or more traits.
Inbreeding Depression: Inbreeding depression is the reduction in vigor, fertility, or fitness due to increased homozygosity from inbreeding.
Quantitative Trait: A quantitative trait is controlled by multiple genes and shows continuous variation, such as height or yield.
Marker-Assisted Selection (MAS): MAS is the use of molecular markers linked to traits to accelerate breeding decisions.
Genetic Linkage: Genetic linkage refers to the tendency of genes located close together on a chromosome to be inherited together.
QTL (Quantitative Trait Locus): A QTL is a chromosomal region containing one or more genes that influence a quantitative trait.
Backcrossing: Backcrossing is the repeated crossing of a hybrid with one of its parents to recover the recurrent parent genotype while introducing a target trait.
Mutation Breeding: Mutation breeding uses physical or chemical mutagens to create genetic variation for crop improvement.
