ADVERTISEMENTS:
The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between somatic hybridization and sexual hybridization.
Somatic Hybridization:
1. It involves fusion of somatic cells.
2. It leads to the production of allotetraploid plants.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
3. There is equal contribution of cytoplasm from both parents.
4. Segregation does not occur.
5. Wide crosses can be easily made
Sexual Hybridization:
1. It involves fusion of male and female gametes.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
2. It results in the production of diploid plants.
3. Contribution of cytoplasm is more by female parent
4. Segregation takes place.
5. Wide crosses are associated with sexual problems.
