pollination/cross-breeding)

QUIZ 2

1.) The first steps in HYBRID TECHNOLOGY is to perform (self) pollination of parental plants to
obtain pure lines.
2.) (Mutation) breeding involves subjecting the plants (seeds or young plants) to UV radiation or
chemical mutagens
3.) Conventional or traditional vaccines contain whole bacteria or viruses while modern vaccines
may just contain bacterial or viral (proteins/peptides)
4.) Cell metabolism and respiration involves the processes of GLYCOLYSIS, TCA ORKREBS CYCLE,
