Solution
The correct option is D i ii iii iv
c b d a Apple- Micropropagation
Micropropagation is the biotechnological method for the commercial production of plantlets using tissue culture in a short duration of time. Crops like apples that have a huge commercial value are propagated using this method.
Sugarcane- Meristem culture
The meristem culture is an invitro technique where the meristems are used to grow plants. This technique is usually carried out to produce disease-free plants from a deceased parent plant. For example, sugarcanes free from the Sugarcane mosaic virus can be created as the meristematic tissue remains free from viral disease.
Pomato- Somatic hybrid
The Pomato is a hybrid plant of potato and tomato which is created by the process of somatic hybridisation (protoplast fusion). In this process the protoplast of two somatic cells are fused together.
Spirulina- SCP
Single cell protein or SCP is a source of alternative protein. Spirulina is a blue green algae that is usually cultivated as a rich source of SCP.
