Given below are two statements.
Statement I - There is no need of agitation in callus culture however it is necessary in suspension culture.
Statement II - During tissue culture techniques, the temperature of the lab is maintained between 18 to 20°C.
In the light of above statements, select the correct option given below:

Options

  1. ABoth statement I and statement II are correct.
  2. BBoth statement I and statement II are incorrect.
  3. CStatement I is correct but statement II is incorrect.
  4. DStatement I is incorrect but statement II is correct.

Correct answer

C. Statement I is correct but statement II is incorrect.

Step-by-step solution

Statement I is correct because callus culture is typically grown on a solid agar medium where agitation is not required. In contrast, suspension culture involves growing cells in a liquid medium, which requires continuous agitation (usually on a rotary shaker) to ensure proper aeration, nutrient mixing, and to prevent the aggregation of cells.

Statement II is incorrect because the standard temperature maintained in a plant tissue culture laboratory is generally around 24∘C24^{{}^{\circ}}\text{C} to 28∘C28^{{}^{\circ}}\text{C} (often specified as 25±2∘C25 \pm 2^{{}^{\circ}}\text{C}), not 1818 to 20∘C20^{{}^{\circ}}\text{C}.

Therefore, Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.

Answer: Statement I is correct but statement II is incorrect.
