NEET2013BotanyPlant - Growth and DevelopmentActual
Tissue culture technique can produce infinite number or new plants from a small parental tissue. The economic importance of the technique is in raising:
Options
- Agenetically uniform population identical to the original parent.
- Bhomozygous diploid plants.
- Cnew species.
- Dvariants through picking up somaclonal variations
Correct answer
A. genetically uniform population identical to the original parent.
Step-by-step solution
The technique to generate whole plant from an explant with in vitro condition on a suitable synthetic medium is called tissue culture. We can produce several plants. Genetic constitution of all plants is same, leading to identical population to the original parent. Disease free plants can be produced in large number.
