Correct option is A
The Correct Answer is: (A) S₃S₄
Explanation:
The sweet cherry cultivar 'Lambert' has the S₃S₄ genotype for its S-alleles.
The sweet cherry cultivar 'Lambert' has the S₃S₄ genotype for its S-alleles.
The presence of different S-alleles (S₃ and S₄) in the genotype allows for cross-pollination with other cultivars that have complementary S-alleles, enabling fruit set.
Information Booster:
Self-incompatibility in cherries is determined by the S-allele system, where two different S-alleles must be present for pollination to occur.
Lambert cherry is compatible with other cultivars having different S-alleles (like S₁, S₂, etc.) but not with itself.
