|
Hybridization is time-consuming and expensive
|
Detailed explanation-1: -The disadvantages of hybridization are: 1) The process of hybridization is quite expensive costing up to five times the value of the normal process. 2) They suffer more than the normal plants if not provided with the normal requirements.
Detailed explanation-2: -Two main limitations of the plant hybridization programme are: Cross hybridization between selected parent plants is a tedious process. Low frequency of recombination of desirable traits.
Detailed explanation-3: -The following are the drawbacks of hybridization: 1) The hybridization process is very costly, costing up to five times the value of the standard process. 2) They suffer more than average plants if their basic needs are not met.
Detailed explanation-4: -Advantages of hybridization include passing along favorable traits and prolonging the survival of a threatened or endangered species, but a disadvantage is that hybrid animals have more difficulty finding mates and successfully breeding. Hybridization occurs naturally and through human initiation.
