What method is used to produce a true-breeding line?(a) Self-pollination(b) Cross-pollination(c) Artificial pollination(d) AllogamyI had been asked this question in an online interview.This interesting question is from Mendel’s Laws of Inheritance-2 in division Principles of Inheritance and Variation of Biology – Class 12

Answer»

Correct answer is (a) Self-pollination

Explanation: A true-breeding line is the one that is homozygous for a given ALLELE. This can be achieved by REPEATED self-pollination over many generations. This exposes the traits encoded by recessive alleles, which WOULD OTHERWISE be suppressed by the presence of dominant alleles.
