Question

Farmers wanted to grow lemons that were less sour They crossed a true lemon tree with a mandarin orange tree to develop a hybrid sweet lemon tree… what process was used

Answer 1

The process used in this scenario is called hybridization or crossbreeding. This involves breeding two different species or varieties of plants to create a new hybrid plant with desired traits from both parents. In this case, the aim was to create a sweet lemon tree by crossing a true lemon tree with a mandarin orange tree, hoping to transfer the sweetness of the mandarin orange to the lemon tree.
