By which method was a new breed βHisardaleβ of sheep formed by using Bikaneri ewes and Marino rams?
Mutational breeding
Cross breeding
Inbreeding
Out crossing
To solve this problem, we need to identify the method used to form the new breed 'Hisardale' of sheep by using Bikaneri ewes and Marino rams.Let's analyze the options:Mutational breeding: - This involves inducing mutations to create genetic variations. It is not typically used for forming new breeds by combining existing breeds.Cross breeding: - This involves mating individuals from two different breeds to produce offspring with desirable traits from both. - In this case, Bikaneri ewes and Marino rams are two different breeds, and their combination to form 'Hisardale' is an example of cross breeding.Inbreeding: - This involves breeding individuals within the same breed to maintain or enhance specific traits. It is not applicable here as it does not involve different breeds.Out crossing: - This involves breeding individuals from the same breed but with no common ancestors for several generations. It is not applicable here as it does not involve different breeds.Based on the analysis, the correct method used to form the 'Hisardale' breed is cross breeding.Therefore, the correct option is Option 2: Cross breeding.
