Question

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II. LIST-I: A. Pureline theory, B. Stratified mass selection, C. Ear to row method, D. Progeny test. LIST-II: I. Louis de Vilmorin, II. Hopkins, III. Johannsen, IV. Gardner.

• A. A-I, B-III, C-II, D-IV
• B. A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
• C. A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
• D. A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II

Hint:

Pureline theory is linked with Johannsen and progeny test is linked with Louis de Vilmorin.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:
Plant breeding methods are associated with different scientists who developed or popularized them.

Step 1: Pureline theory.
Pureline theory was proposed by Johannsen. \[ A\rightarrow III \]

Step 2: Stratified mass selection.
Stratified mass selection is associated with Gardner. \[ B\rightarrow IV \]

Step 3: Ear to row method.
Ear to row method is associated with Hopkins. \[ C\rightarrow II \]

Step 4: Progeny test.
Progeny test is associated with Louis de Vilmorin. \[ D\rightarrow I \] Therefore: \[ A-III,\ B-IV,\ C-II,\ D-I \] \[ \therefore \text{Correct Answer is (C)} \]
