Vicky’s father wants to grow a single plant having two desirable characters colourful flowers and big fruits. What method will you suggest him and why? (AS3)

I will suggest the method of either grafting or cross-pollination.

Grafting method:

•In this method, two plants are joined together in such a way that the two stems join and grow as a single plant.

•This technique is used to produce plants with desirable characteristics and is helpful for propagating improved varieties of various flowers and fruits.

•In this technique, the plant attached to the soil is called stock whereas the team attached to it is called Scion.

•Using this technique, we can attach the two plants with desirable characteristics of colourful flowers and big fruits together to get the single plant.

Cross-pollination method:

•In this method, 2 plants of the same species but different characteristics can be cross-pollinated.

•The pollen from one plant having the characteristic of colourful flower can be used to pollinate another plant that bears big fruits.

•The resulting zygote will have the characteristics of both the pants.
