Somatic Hybridization is achieved through
A. Grafting
B. Conjugation
C. Protoplast fusion
D. Recombinant DNA technology
Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Somatic Hybridization is achieved through Protoplast fusion.Somatic fusion, also called protoplast fusion, is a type of genetic modification in plants by which two distinct species of plants are fused to form a new hybrid plant with the characteristics of both, a somatic hybrid.
Somatic hybridization and cybridization have great potential for plant improvement. Somatic hybridization through protoplast fusion provides the ability to combine parent genes in higher plants to overcome sexual incompatibility among plant species or genera.
