Vedclass · Answer

(D) Pomato is a somatic hybrid produced by the fusion of protoplasts from potato ($Solanum$ $tuberosum$) and tomato ($Solanum$ $lycopersicum$).Somatic hybridization is a technique where protoplasts from two different plant species are fused to create a hybrid plant with characteristics of both parents.Since the resulting hybrid contains the complete chromosome sets of both parent species,it is also classified as an allopolyploid.Therefore,both $(A)$ and $(B)$ are correct descriptions of how a Pomato is produced and classified.
