1
In plant field trials, controls are needed to
improve accuracy
increase reliability
make valid comparisons
decrease bias
2
A new breed of F1 hybrids can be maintained by
maintaining the parent lines
mating F1 hybrids together
mating F1 hybrids with parent lines
inbreeding the parents
3
A purpose of selective breeding of a population is to increase the frequency of
deleterious alleles
dominant alleles
desirable alleles
recessive alleles
4
F1 hybrids are not mated together because their offspring will be
genetically variable
all heterozgous
genetically identical
sterile
5
Inbreeding depression is the reduced fitness caused by
accumulation of recessive deleterious alleles.
accumulation of dominant deleterious alleles.
loss of deleterious alleles.
accumulation of favourable alleles.
6
Genetic modification of a crop plant would not involve the modification of its
DNA
phenotype
genome
tRNA
7
Inbreeding involves mating with
non - relatives.
relatives
different breeds.
different species.
8
This is not a desirable feature of crop plants
High food yield
Disease resistance
Slow growth
High nutritional value
9
Cross breeding in food production is the mating of
different cultivars of crop plants or livestock
closely related animals and plants
different biological species
different breeds of pets
10
Outbreeding is mating with a
non - relative.
close relative.
different generation.
different species.
11
The offspring of different breeds are called
Parent hybrids
P1 hybrids
F1 hybrids
F2 hybrids
12
Deleterious alleles decrease an individual's chances of
reproducing only
surviving only
surviving or reproducing
not passing on its alleles
13
F1 hybrid animals usually have the
characteristics of both parents
characteristics of their father only
characteristics of their mother only
characteristics of neither parent
14
In plant field trials, the order of treatments in each replicate is randomised in order to
increase accuracy
confuse the pests
increase reliablity
eliminate bias
