Read the following statements and choose the correct option: 1. A method of producing thousands of plants through tissue culture is called micropropagation. 2. Each of these plants will be genetically identical to the original plant from which they were grown, they are pseudoclones. 3. Whole plants could be regenerated from inplants, i.e., any part of a plant taken out and grown in a test tube, under sterile conditio

Options

  1. AAll are incorrect
  2. BOnly 1 is correct
  3. COnly 2 and 3 are incorrect
  4. DBoth 3 and 5 are incorrect

Correct answer

B. Only 1 is correct

Step-by-step solution

Whole plants could be regenerated from explants, i.e., any part of a plant taken out and grown in a test tube, under sterile conditions in special nutrient media. This capacity to generate a whole plant from any cell/explant is called totipotency.A method of producing thousands of plants through tissue culture is called micropropagation. Each of these plants will be genetically identical to the original plant from which they were grown, they are somaclones. Many important food plants like tomato, banana, apple, etc
