A. Heterosis
B. Reciprocal Recurrent Selection
C. Father of Modern Animal Breeding
D. Coefficient of Inbreeding
Match with the following:
I. Sewall Wright
II. G.H. Shull
III. Combstock, Robinson and Harvey
IV. J.L. Lush
V. D.S. Falconer
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A - I, B - III, C - II, D - IV
• B. A - II, B - III, C - IV, D - I
• C. A - IV, B - V, C - III, D - II
• D. A - II, B - III, C - I, D - IV

Hint:

Shull: heterosis.
Comstock et al.: reciprocal recurrent selection.
Lush: father of modern animal breeding.
Wright: coefficient of inbreeding.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Various genetic concepts are associated with specific scientists.
We need to match each concept with its discoverer.

Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
No specific formula.
Need to know the history of genetics and breeding.

Step 3: Detailed Explanation:
Heterosis was described by G.H. Shull (A-II).
Reciprocal Recurrent Selection was developed by Comstock, Robinson, and Harvey (B-III).
The Father of Modern Animal Breeding is J.L. Lush (C-IV).
The Coefficient of Inbreeding was developed by Sewall Wright (D-I).
Thus, A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I is the correct matching.

Step 4: Final Answer:
The correct matching is A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I.
Hence, the correct option is (D).
