  • Prafull

    Yeah really Good one….!

  • shivani

    sir i read in a book that pure line breeds refer to homozygosity only. i have confusion in 8th question.

    • Administrator

      Thanks Shivani – The answer has been replaced as:
      Pure line breeding – involves selection of individual plants at one or more stages in breeding.
      Complete homozygosity – all the alleles at all loci are identical by descent and no heterozygosity at any locus.
