================================
(5ai)
Hybridization is the process of crossing two genetically different individuals to result in a third individual with a different, often preferred, set of traits.
(5aii)
Homozygous are individual organisms carrying two identical alleles (for example RR or rr) While heterozygous are individual organisms that bear different alleles (for example Rr).

(i) Reduction in farm output
(ii) Reduction in farmer's income for crop producers
(iii) Reduction of quality of crop
(iv) Increase in prices for consumers.
(v) More expenses to fight the disease.

*SECTION C*
SOLVING AND TYPING
================================
*SECTION D*
(8a)
(I) Sanitation
(ii) Housing
(iii) Debeaking
(iv) Feeding
(8bi)
-Rinderpest-
(i)quarantine and slaughter.
(ii)vaccination
(8bii)
-Aspergillosis-
(i)Good hatchery sanitation
(ii)Avoidance of mouldy feed
(8biii)
-Anthrax -

================================
*SECTION E*
(10ai)
The law of diminishing returns states that in a production process, as on input variable is increased, there will be a point at which the marginal per unit will start to decrease holding all other factors constant.
(10aii)
(i) Price of related commodities
(ii) Price of rice
(iii) Income of the consumers
(iv) Expectation of change in the price in future
(v) Taste of consumers
(vi) Smuggling of rice
(10bi)
Total depreciation = Cost price - Selling price
Given that the cost of rice = N108,000
Selling price = N93,000
Total depreciation = 108,000 - 93,000 = N15,000
(10bii)
Annual depreciation = Total depreciation/ Life span
Total depreciation = N15,000
Life span = 2017-2007
Life span = 10years
Annual depreciation = 15,000/10 = N1,500
(10ci)
