Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This question requires matching biological terms (LIST-I) with their correct definitions or associated concepts (LIST-II).
Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Let's match each term in LIST-I with its description in LIST-II.
A. Somatic hybridization: This is a technique where protoplasts (cells without cell walls) from somatic cells of two different plants are fused. This directly matches with II. Fusion protoplasts from somatic cells.
B. Parthenocarpy: This is the natural or artificially induced production of fruit without fertilization of ovules, which makes the fruit seedless. This matches with III. Seedless fruits without fertilization.
C. Micropropagation: This is a set of techniques used to rapidly multiply stock plant material to produce a large number of progeny plants, using modern plant tissue culture methods. It is a form of asexual or vegetative propagation. This matches with IV. Multiplication of plants without sexual reproduction.
D. Single cell production: The large-scale production of individual plant cells is typically done in a liquid medium, which is known as a I. Cell suspension culture.
Step 3: Final Answer:
The correct matching is: A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I.
