Solution
The correct options are AAllows compilation of all distinguishable traits of a particular accession CIt is a preliminary evaluation of distinguishable traits for a crop DGives information about the genetic diversity of the crop Creation of germplasm brings together all possible genetic variability in a crop species. The germplasmlibrary allows evaluation of the most easily visible or distinguishable traits of a crop. The entire library is then evaluated and data is recorded about each accession. The data thus compiled gives information of the genetic diversity of a particular crop. This data can then be usedto identify the plants with the right combination of characters for the breeding program.
