Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option A
Genetic assortative mating is useful in developing Inbreds.
Assortative mating, in human genetics, is a form of non-random mating in which pair bonds are established based on phenotype.
The closest type of genetic assortative mating is selfing. It results in homozygosity and fixation of types, therefore, is useful to develop homozygous lines and development of inbred lines for hybrid or synthetic cultivars.
