History

Which manufacturing outcome increased sharply during Byzantine controlled silk production when sericulture adapted to include hybrid silkworm breeding?

A)Improved fiber tensile strength
B)Higher raw silk yield
C)Deeper color retention
D)Increased thread uniformity

💡 Explanation

Hybrid silkworm breeding increased pupae mass, greatly raising raw silk yield because heterosis caused faster larval growth and larger silk glands; therefore the silk production quantity increased, rather than intrinsic silk tensile strength.
