Genetics and Plant Breeding Pointers 5 ✓
- Group of symptoms is called a Syndrome.
- Grow out test is used for assessing genetic purity of seeds.
- Guanine pairs with cytosine via 3 hydrogen bonds.
- H. B. Singh contributed to germplasm collection.
- H. J. Muller received Nobel Prize for inducing mutations in Drosophila using X-rays.
- Haploid-Diploid sex determination occurs in honey bees and wasps.
- Incomplete penetrance refers to heterozygous condition not fully expressing the normal phenotype.
- Ophioglossum (Pteridophyta) has the highest chromosome number (2n > 1200).
- Highly condensed chromatin is called Heterochromatin.
- H. J. Muller used X-rays to induce mutations in fruit flies.
- Rice has 22 wild species.
- Sunflower oil contains about 90% polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA).
- Male sterility is maintained by crossing A line with B line.
- Human blood groups are an example of multiple alleles.
- Luxuriance in hybrids was described by Naudin.
- H4 cotton variety was developed at GAU, Surat.
- Half diallel cross formula is n(n−1)/2.
- Hand pollination in seed production is practiced in cotton.
- Anther culture is used to develop haploids.
- Haploids exhibit weak phenotype.
- Haploid with an isochromosome is called Mis-division haploid.
- Harlan proposed the mass pedigree method.
- Herkogamy prevents self-pollination due to physical barriers (e.g., alfalfa).
- Hershey and Chase used ³²P to label DNA in their experiments.
- Heterostyly promotes cross-pollination via differing style and filament lengths (e.g., linseed).
- Segregation releases heterozygotic potential variability.
- Potential variability is hidden variability not accessible for selection.
- High benzyl alcohol in wheat provides resistance to green bugs.
- High silica in rice provides resistance to yellow stem borer.
- Bulk breeding gives highest genetic variance in population.
- Single cross hybrids show highest uniformity.
- Maize is a highly cross-pollinated species.
- High inbreeding depression is observed in alfalfa and carrot.
- Hotspots are highly mutable sites within a gene.
- Histones are rich in lysine and arginine.
- Holiday proposed a model for homologous recombination.
- Homeologous chromosomes are present in wheat.
- Homogamy refers to synchronous maturation of male and female gametes.
- Orthologues are homologous genes within the same organism with similar functions.
- Homomorphic self-incompatibility is physiological, not morphological.
- Homomorphic systems include gametophytic and sporophytic types.
- Horizontal resistance is non-specific resistance.
- Horizontal axis in graphs is called the Abscissa (X-axis).
- Hotspots for Karnal bunt include Ludhiana, Surdaspur, Hisar, and Shimla.
