I got this question in an interview.

My question comes from Controlled Breeding Experiments in chapter Strategies for Enhancement in Food Production of Biology – Class 12

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) Undesirable qualities of two breeds are combined

Easy explanation: Cross-breeding is the mating between superior animals of different breeds for raising new breeds or improving new breeds. Cross-breeding allows the desirable qualities of two different breeds to be combined. The progeny may also be used for commercial production. It is also done to develop new stable breeds.
