Among the following pick out the correct statement.i. Hybridization means crossing between genetically dissimilar plantsii. Cross between two varieties is called as inter specific hybridizationiii. Introducing the genes of desired characters into a plant gives genetically modified cropiv. Cross between plants of two species is called as inter varietal hybridization
A
(i) and (iii)
B
(ii) and (iv)
C
(ii) and (iii)
D
(iii) and (iv)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: The correct sentences are hybridization means crossing between genetically dissimilar plants and ntroducing genes of the desired character into a plant gives a genetically modified crop.

Detailed explanation-2: -The correct option is A True. Hybridization refers to crossing between genetically dissimilar plants. This crossing may be intervarietal (between different varieties), interspecific (between two different species of the same genus) or intergeneric (between different genera).

Detailed explanation-3: -(i) Hybridization means crossing between genetically dissimilar plants. (ii) Cross between two varieties is called as inter specific hybridisation. (iii) Introducing genes of desired character into a plant gives genetically modified crop.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct option is B intervarietal. Crossing between different varieties is known as intervarietal hybridisation. Crossing between different species of the same genus is known as interspecific hybridisation. Crossing between different genera is known as intergeneric hybridisation.

Detailed explanation-5: -Crossing between different varieties is called hybridisation.
