A) there is an increased potential of hopeful mutants.
B) species that are normally sexually incompatible can sometimes be successfully fused. producing offspring with traits of both parent species.
C) many new species can be produced in a short period of time.
D) deleterious traits are often removed by this process.
E) genetically unrelated species can be successfully combined to produce new species with much larger genomes and adaptive potentials.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Protoplast fusion experiments can sometimes lead to the successful fusion of species that are normally sexually incompatible, resulting in offspring with traits of both parent species. This can lead to the development of new crop varieties with desirable traits.
