1. a breeder wanted to create a new variety of potatoes that produces more of the vitamins found in the roots of carrots than in typical potatoes. what method of selective breeding would the breeder most likely use?
inbreeding
hybridization
hand pollination
genetic engineering

2. which process is the opposite of inbreeding?
pollination
hybridization
seed production
genetic engineering

1. The correct answer would be genetic engineering.

With the help of genetic engineering the breeder would select, isolate, and transfer the gene (responsible for vitamin production) from the carrot plant cell to the potato plant cell.

It is then followed by cell and tissue culture to grow the plant with the desirable character. Lastly, plant breeding is done to yield the transgenic line.

2. The correct answer would be hybridization.

Inbreeding refers to the breeding of closely related animals or plants over many generations.

In contrast, hybridization is the practice of breeding in which organisms of different varieties or species are cross-breed to produce a hybrid breed or variety. It helps in transferring a desired character from one variety to the other.
