Sample RBSE SS Agricultural Biology Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the RBSE SS Agricultural Biology exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1The primary objective of plant breeding is to:
A.Reduce genetic diversity intentionally without purpose
B.Develop improved cultivars with higher yield, quality, and stress resistance
C.Eliminate all sexual reproduction in crops
D.Convert all crops into pure animals
Explanation: Plant breeding creates improved varieties combining higher yield, better quality, pest/disease resistance, and adaptation.
2Pure-line selection is most applicable to which type of crop?
A.Highly cross-pollinated crops only without selfing
B.Self-pollinated crops where homozygous lines can be selected
C.Animals exclusively
D.Bacteria without genomes
Explanation: Pure-line selection isolates superior homozygous plants in self-pollinated crops and multiplies them true-to-type.
3Mass selection differs from pure-line selection mainly because mass selection:
A.Always produces a single homozygous genotype only
B.Selects and bulks many desirable plants, retaining more heterogeneity
C.Uses only molecular markers without phenotypes
D.Requires double haploids exclusively
Explanation: Mass selection saves seed from many selected plants, so the variety remains a mixture of genotypes (more variable than a pure line).
4Hybrid vigor (heterosis) is best defined as:
A.Inferior performance of F1 compared with parents
B.Superior performance of F1 hybrids relative to the parental lines
C.Complete sterility of all hybrids always
D.Absence of any genetic difference between parents
Explanation: Heterosis is the superiority of the hybrid over its parents in yield, vigor, or other traits.
5Emasculation in plant hybridization means:
A.Removing female organs before pollination
B.Removing male reproductive parts (anthers) from the flower to prevent self-pollination
C.Killing the entire plant
D.Applying herbicide to the roots only
Explanation: Emasculation removes anthers from the female parent flower so controlled cross-pollination can be done without selfing.
6A clone in plant propagation is:
A.A sexually produced segregating progeny
B.A vegetatively propagated individual genetically identical to the parent
C.A randomly mated bulk population only
D.A mutagenized seed lot always
Explanation: Clones arise by asexual means (cuttings, tubers, tissue culture) and are genetically identical (barring mutation).
7Backcross breeding is especially useful for:
A.Transferring one or a few desirable genes (e.g., disease resistance) into an elite recurrent parent
B.Creating maximum random polyploidy only
C.Eliminating all selection forever
D.Measuring soil EC only
Explanation: Backcrossing repeatedly crosses progeny to the elite parent while selecting for a target gene from the donor.
8Inbreeding depression is most severe in which mating system historically?
A.Highly self-pollinated crops already homozygous
B.Cross-pollinated crops that are suddenly selfed
C.Apomictic clones that never recombine
D.Vegetatively propagated true clones without seed
Explanation: Cross-pollinated species hide deleterious recessives in heterozygous state; forced selfing exposes them, causing depression.
9The Green Revolution in wheat and rice largely depended on breeding for:
A.Only ornamental flower color without yield
B.Semi-dwarf, fertilizer-responsive, high-yielding varieties
C.Complete elimination of irrigation need forever
D.Removal of all disease resistance genes
Explanation: Semi-dwarf HYVs with stiff straw responded to fertilizer and irrigation, raising cereal yields dramatically.
10Polyploidy breeding has been important in crops such as:
A.Only haploid bacteria
B.Many crops including bread wheat (allohexaploid) and some fruit/forage species
C.Mammals exclusively
D.Viruses without DNA/RNA
Explanation: Polyploid crops (e.g., wheat 6x, potato 4x, many fruits) exploit genome duplication/hybridization for traits and fertility systems.

About the RBSE SS Agricultural Biology Exam

The Rajasthan RBSE Senior Secondary (Class 12) Agricultural Biology examination (subject code 039) is conducted by the Board of Secondary Education, Rajasthan (RBSE), Ajmer. Official 2026 subject-wise main-examination statistics list this paper among assessed subjects (SCIENCE 2026 stats: 039 AGRI. BIOLOGY; theory 56+14, practical 30). Scheme commonly Theory 56 + Sessional 14 = 70 and Practical 30 = 100. Official delivery commonly English/Hindi. The official assessment is mixed written and/or practical/performance format, not pure multiple-choice. The 100 questions on this page are an English-language MCQ study adaptation for concept drills and self-assessment — not an official translation, format simulation, or substitute for writing, practical, project, or performance practice. Aligned to RBSE syllabus materials on rajeduboard.rajasthan.gov.in (Class 12: 12_2026.pdf; Praveshika path materials as applicable).

Exam sponsor: Board of Secondary Education, Rajasthan (RBSE). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Official RBSE mixed written theory plus separate practical/viva components. Typical full marks pattern Theory 56 + Sessional 14 = 70 and Practical 30 = 100, theory duration 3 hours 15 minutes. Candidates must often pass theory and practical separately. Local bank: English-language four-option MCQ study adaptation — not a practical simulation. Subject code 039. SCIENCE 2026 stats: 039 AGRI. BIOLOGY; theory 56+14, practical 30.

Time Limit

3 hours 15 minutes (theory); practical duration as per subject scheme (commonly ~3–4 hours)

Passing Score

Minimum 33% marks in the subject as per RBSE examination regulations (confirm current session circulars). Where theory and practical are separate, candidates must pass each component as required by the subject scheme.

Exam / Certification Fees

As per RBSE annual examination fee notification for school/private candidates (Senior Secondary / Class 12 full board form fee is notified each cycle on rajeduboard.rajasthan.gov.in — confirm the current circular; subject papers are not separately priced on the statistics page)

RBSE SS Agricultural Biology: Suggested Study Strategy

1Map every practice session to the official RBSE Agricultural Biology unit list, not only popular coaching lists.
2After MCQ drills, write full answers from RBSE-style model papers under timed conditions.
3Verify facts (dates, formulas, definitions) against NCERT/RBSE prescribed books before trusting any third-party summary.
4Track weak categories and re-attempt missed items after 48 hours.
5For languages, literature, music, drawing, typewriting, and shorthand, MCQs support theory—still complete official skill practice.
