Q6 · Difficulty 1/3
Which of the following is an advantage of sexual propagation over asexual propagation?
- Plants mature faster
- Offspring are genetically identical to parent
- Greater genetic variation is produced
- Desirable characteristics are always maintained
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — Greater genetic variation is produced
Award 1 mark for recognising that sexual reproduction involves fusion of gametes, producing offspring with genetic variation. A is incorrect — asexually propagated plants typically mature faster. B is incorrect — this describes asexual propagation. D is incorrect — sexual reproduction does not guarantee maintenance of desirable traits.
Q7 · Difficulty 1/3
A crop whose genes have been changed by biotechnology is a ___ crop.
- organic only
- genetically modified (GM)
- seasonal
- wild only
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — genetically modified (GM)

Q8 · Difficulty 1/3
A farmer in Trinidad wishes to produce many identical plantlets of a high-yielding cassava variety in a short time. Which biotechnology technique would be MOST suitable for this purpose?
- Cross-pollination
- Tissue culture
- Artificial insemination
- Selective breeding
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — Tissue culture
Award 1 mark for identifying tissue culture as the technique that produces genetically identical plants (clones) rapidly from small pieces of plant tissue. C is incorrect — artificial insemination is used in animal reproduction, not plant propagation. D is incorrect — selective breeding takes multiple generations and does not produce identical offspring. A is incorrect — cross-pollination produces genetic variation, not identical plants.
