    Emasculation is concerned with

    A)  hybridization    

    B)  clonal selection

    C)  mass selection   

    D)  pure line selection

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Removal of stamens from a bisexual flower before  anthesis  is  called  emasculation. Emasculation is done during hybridization for preventing self pollination. Mass selection: It involves selection of seeds of phenotypically superior plants and sowing them in next generation. Pure line selection: In this method a plant with desirable traits is first selected from the genetically mixed population and then selfed. After several such generation a few plants are finally selected which prove to be homozygous for the characters. Clonal   selection is the type of selection applicable to vegetatively propagated plants eg, Banana.
