Question

Arrange different stages of seed production in a sequence.
A. Certified Seed, B. Breeder Seed, C. Nucleus Seed, D. Foundation Seed.

• A. B, C, D, A
• B. B, C, A, D
• C. C, B, D, A
• D. C, D, B, A

Hint:

Seed production sequence is: Nucleus seed \(\rightarrow\) Breeder seed \(\rightarrow\) Foundation seed \(\rightarrow\) Certified seed.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:
Seed production follows a fixed sequence to maintain genetic purity and quality.

Step 1: Nucleus seed.
Nucleus seed is the first and purest seed maintained by the breeder. \[ \text{First step}=C \]

Step 2: Breeder seed.
Breeder seed is produced from nucleus seed under the supervision of the plant breeder. \[ \text{Second step}=B \]

Step 3: Foundation seed.
Foundation seed is produced from breeder seed. \[ \text{Third step}=D \]

Step 4: Certified seed.
Certified seed is produced from foundation seed and supplied to farmers for cultivation. \[ \text{Fourth step}=A \] Therefore, the correct sequence is: \[ C,B,D,A \] \[ \therefore \text{Correct Answer is (C)} \]
