C. Clone
D. Mutant
Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
The homozygous line developed through repeated selfing in cross-pollinated crop is Inbred.An inbred line is the progeny of a single self-pollinated plant. It is the result of repeated selfing as a result all the alleles in an inbred are in the homozygous form.
In the Inbred Development Phase, the breeder begins by crossing two plants with different traits, such as yield, size, shape, color, taste, or disease resistance. The objective is to combine valuable traits from each parent to generate and select offspring containing the best characteristics of both parents.
