   A. Digestion of cell walls.
   
   B. Isolation of naked protoplasts.
   
   C. Fusion of protoplasts to get hybrid protoplast.
   
   D. Isolation of single cells from two different varieties of plants.
   
   E. Growing of hybrid protoplast to form a new plant.
   
   Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

   • AD, A, B, C, E
   • BE, B, A, D, C
   • CD, B, A, E, C
   • DE, A, B, C, D

   Show answer & solution

   Correct answer: (A)

   Correct sequence: Isolate cells (D) → digest walls (A) → obtain protoplasts (B) → fuse (C) → grow (E). So D, A, B, C, E.

   • AIt exposes harmful recessive genes but are eliminated by selection.
   • BElimination of less desirable genes and accumulation of superior genes takes place due to it.
   • CIt decreases the productivity of inbred population, after continuous inbreeding.
   • DIt decreases homozygosity.

   Show answer & solution

   Correct answer: (C)

   Option (3) is the correct answer because decreasing the productivity of inbred population is not an advantage of inbreeding.
   
   Options (1) and (2) are not the answers because they are the advantages of inbreeding. Option (4) is an incorrect statement.
