Q418

A homogeneous population includes

A.
An inbred line
B.
A pure line
C.
Progeny of a clone
D.
None of these
Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
A homogeneous population does not include An inbred line, A pure line, or the Progeny of a clone.
An inbred line is a population in which closely related animals, such as siblings or parents and offspring, have been repeatedly mated so that nearly all genetic variation is lost.
A pure line is the progeny of a single self-fertilized homozygous plant.
The progeny of a clone is genetically and physically identical to the parent.
