Pedigree and backcross need space planting whereas bulk method doesn’t need space planting and can be grown in small area.
Pedigree method is designated for transgressive breeding and was given by love.
Pedigree, bulk and single seed descent and backcross methods are used for handling segregating generations in self pollinated crops.
Preformation theory was proposed by Swammerdam and Bonett.

Peroxisomes is the site of glycolate metabolism.
Phenotype of an individual is affected by both genotype and environment
Phenotypic ratio of Di-cross hybrid? 9:3:3:1
Phenotypic ratio of Monocross hybrid? 3:1
Phenotypically males but are females is the characteristic feature of? Klinfelter’ syndrome
Phenyketonouria is a heredity disease.
Phospaharamdites are used in chemical synthesis of DNA, RNA and other nucleic acids
Phosphamarides are used in synthetic biology for oligonucleotide synthesis
Photo system II is absent in? C4 plants.
Photosynthesis inhibitor is? DCMU.
Photosynthesis is an anabolic process during which plants use energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide gas and water into sugar molecules.
Photosynthesis is an process? Oxidation-Reduction
Physical basis of life by Huxely is? Protoplasm
Pineapple is a CAM plant.
Plant breeding is considered as current phase of evolution (Simmonds, 1979)
Plant DNA fingerprinting can be most effectively used through SSR markers.
Plant floral display certain traits so that ensure/attract/encourage pollination.
Plant hormones that regulate plant growth, particularly by stimulating cell Elongation? Auxin
Plant part used for micro-propagation? Explant
Plant show wilting and recover after supply? Permanent wilting
Plant tissue culture techniques are performed in? Laminar Air Flow Chamber
Plant tissue culture was begun by? G Haberlandt (German botanist) in 1808
Plant wilt in mid-day and recover in night? Temporary wilting
Plants optimize reproductive success through interaction between these components of reproductive system and ecological factors.

Polygenic characters in the germplasm are measured by different methods such as simple measures of dispersion (Range, SD, SE and coefficient of variation), Meteroglyph analysis and D2 statistics.
Polygenic characters show variable magnitude of heritability and environment plays and important role in their development.
One gene one enzyme hypothesis was proposed by beadle and Tatum.
