Test on Plant Domestication and Crop Diversity

Question 1: The primary methods for new crop development involve traditional grafting techniques without the use of genetic modification.

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: The study materials state that new crop development involves "selection, breeding, biotechnology." While traditional grafting may be part of propagation, biotechnology clearly implies genetic modification or other advanced techniques, contradicting the idea of development without it.

Question 2: Which of the following crops are primarily associated with the Mediterranean Center of domestication, according to the provided study materials?

A. Olive

B. Rice

C. Cabbage

D. Durum wheat

Explanation: The study materials list Olive, Cabbage, and Durum wheat as crops domesticated in the Mediterranean Center. Rice is listed under the Indian Center A. Main Center.

Question 3: Field observations in the study of traditional agricultural practices involve documenting plant phenological phases and overall plant development.

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: The study materials specify that 'Field observations' include 'phenological phases and plant development'.

Question 4: Which specific type of data collection related to plants is conducted during field observations in the study of traditional agricultural practices?

A. Informal interviews with local farmers

B. Anatomical and morphological plant measurements

C. Collection of native agricultural texts

D. Collective discussions on breeding techniques

Explanation: Field observations specifically include 'anatomical and morphological plant measurements' as stated in the study materials. Informal interviews and collective discussions are part of participant observation, while collection of native texts is a separate method.

Question 5: Vavilov's publication "Origin and Geography of Cultivated Plants" was originally published by Oxford University Press in 1992.

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: The study materials state that Vavilov's publication "Origin and Geography of Cultivated Plants" was translated by Doris Löve and published by Cambridge University Press in 1992, not Oxford University Press.
