Q. Regarding cybridization for male sterile line development:
Statement I: Cybrids allow rapid transfer of mitochondria even across sexually incompatible species.
Statement II: Male sterile lines developed via protoplast fusion can be used for hybrid seed production using CMS restorers.
Statement III: Nuclear genomes are exchanged between donor and recipient protoplasts in cybridization.

Q. Statement I: In the cybrid approach, iodoacetate is used to inactivate the nuclei of the recipient strain (Parent A).
Statement II: Irradiation is used to inactivate the nuclei of the donor strain (Parent B) to ensure only its cytoplasm is transferred.

Q. Statement I: Fusing tomato protoplasts with irradiated Solanum acaule protoplasts produced plants that were morphologically identical to Solanum acaule.
Statement II: The resulting tomato regenerants exhibited Cytoplasmic Male Sterility (CMS), which was inherited maternally.
