Questions and Answers

What is a key advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction?

  • Preservation of genetic information
  • Creation of unique combinations of genetic setup (correct)
  • Faster reproduction rate
  • Inclusion of undesirable genes

    • What is the limitation of traditional hybridisation procedures in plant and animal breeding?

  • Creation of recombinant DNA
  • Multiplication of undesirable genes along with desired genes (correct)
  • Gene transfer without gene cloning
  • Inclusion of desirable genes only

    • What is the primary advantage of genetic engineering techniques over traditional hybridisation procedures?

  • Ability to introduce undesirable genes
  • Isolation and introduction of only desirable genes (correct)
  • Faster breeding process
