Q. A cybrid is a hybrid carrying :
(a) Genomes and cytoplasms of two different plants.
(b) Cytoplasms of two different plants.
(c) Cytoplasms of two different plants and genome of one plant.

Solution : Correct option : C An artificial hybrid cell produced by introducing nuclear material from one organism into a cell from which the nucleus has been removed. A cytoplasmic hybrid is a eukaryotic cell line produced by the fusion of a whole cell with a cytoplast. A cybrid is then a hybrid cell which mixes the nuclear genes from one cell with the mitochondrial genes from another cell.
