Question

Given below are two statements: 
• [Statement (I):] Vertical resistance is exploited in agriculture by pathologists and breeders for crop improvement. 
• [Statement (II):] Vertical resistance is mostly monogenic in nature. 
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below. 
 

• A. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are correct.

To remember the difference:
- Vertical Resistance: Monogenic/Oligogenic, race-specific, unstable (can be broken down quickly), complete protection.
- Horizontal Resistance: Polygenic, race-non-specific, stable, partial/moderate protection.
