Question:medium

Given below are two statements:
Statement (I) : The tall coconut cultivars are referred as var. typica, while dwarf type as var. Nana
Statement (II) : Tall cultivars are the resultant of out breeding while dwarf are the resultant of inbreeding
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Show Hint

Because tall coconuts are outbreeders, they show high genetic heterozygosity and variation in the field.
Dwarf coconuts, being inbreeders, are highly homozygous and produce uniform offspring, making them useful parents for producing high-yielding $T \times D$ or $D \times T$ hybrids.
  • Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are correct.
  • Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are incorrect.
  • Statement (I) is correct but Statement (II) is incorrect.
