Vedclass · Answer

(D) Clonal selection is a breeding method used for crops that are propagated vegetatively.$1$. The varieties developed through this method are genetically identical to the parent,making them highly stable and easy to maintain over generations.$2$. In vegetatively propagated crops,hybrid vigour (heterosis) can be easily fixed and maintained because there is no segregation or recombination in subsequent generations.$3$. Since these crops do not reproduce sexually or have high levels of heterozygosity,clonal selection is often the most effective and sometimes the only practical method for their genetic improvement.Therefore,all the given statements are correct advantages of clonal selection.
