This MCQ is based on Strategies for Enhancement in Food Production(Biological principles as applied to animal husbandry and plant breeding have a major role in our efforts to increase food production. Several new techniques like embryo transfer technology and tissue culture techniques are going to play a pivotal role in further enhancing food production).

Which one of the following products of apiculture is used in cosmetics and polishes?
Inbreeding is carried out in animal husbandry because it:
Increases vigour
Improves the breed
Increases heterozygosity
Increases homozygosity.

Moderate
None.
A group of animals which are related by descent and share many similarities are referred to as:
Breed
Race
Variety
Species.
