Read the following statements and choose the correct option: 1. Isolated protoplasts from two different varieties of plants - each having a desirable character - can be fused to get hybrid protoplasts, which can be further grown to form a new plant, these hybrids are called somatic hybrids. 2. Plants, Bacteria, fungi and animals whose genes have been altered by manipulation are called genetically altered organisms 3.

Step-by-step solution

Isolated protoplasts from two different varieties of plants - each having a desirable character - can be fused to get hybrid protoplasts, which can be further grown to form a new plant, these hybrids are called somatic hybrids. a protoplast of tomato is fused with that of potato, and then they are grown – to form new hybrid plants combining tomato and potato characteristics.Plants, Bacteria, fungi and animals whose genes have been altered by manipulation are called genetically modified organisms Genetic modificatio
