Heterosis can be fully exploited in the form of_____________________?
Correct answer: C. Hybrids
- A. Composites
- B. Multi lines
- C. Hybrids
- D. Synthetics
Explanation
Hybrids are produced by crossing selected inbred or genetically distinct parents, so they express heterosis directly in the F1 generation. Composites and synthetics retain more genetic variation but do not exploit maximum hybrid vigor as consistently.
