  1. A Artificial Pollination → Emasculation → Rebagging → Bagging
  2. B Rebagging → Artificial Pollination → Bagging → Emasculation
  3. C Emasculation → Bagging → Artificial Pollination → Rebagging
  4. D Bagging → Artificial Pollination → Rebagging → Emasculation
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Emasculation → Bagging → Artificial Pollination → Rebagging

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(C) Emasculation → Bagging → Artificial Pollination → Rebagging,
Artificial hybridisation of plant involves following steps:
(i) Anthers are removed, from a bisexual flower of a plant a process called emasculation.
(ii) Emasculated flower is immediately bagged to avoid pollination by any foreign pollen grains. Bagged flowers are then tagged.
(iii) Mature fertile pollen grains are collected from male parent, bag is opened and pollen grains are dusted on receptive stigma with the help of brush and artificial pollination in done.
