Arrange the following steps of somatic hybridisation in a correct sequence. A. Digestion of cell walls. B. Isolation of naked protoplasts. C. Fusion of protoplasts to get hybrid protoplast. D. Isolati

Question

Accepted Answer

Somatic hybridisation involves the fusion of protoplasts of two different plant varieties to produce a hybrid plant. The correct sequence of steps is as follows: First, single cells are isolated from two different varieties of plants (Step D). Next, the cell walls of these isolated cells are digested using enzymes such as cellulase and pectinase (Step A). This digestion results in the isolation of naked protoplasts, which are cells without cell walls (Step B). The isolated naked protoplasts from
