Strategies for Enhancement in Food Production
normal
Assertion : A major advantage of tissue culture is protoplast fusion.
Reason : A hybrid is formed by the fusion of naked protoplasts of two plants.
A
If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
B
If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
C
If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
D
If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Solution
An important technique of tissue culture, somatic hybridization results in the production of somatic hybrid plants. Two different plant varieties each with a desirable character can be made to underg protoplast fusion, which further can be grown into a new plant.
