| Consider the following statements. |
| I. Micro propagation is a method which includes propagation of plants by culturing the cells tissues or organs called tissue culture. |
| II. The culturing of cells or tissues results in the formation of an undifferentiated mass of cells, called callus. |
| Which of the statements given above is/are correct? |
A) Only I
B) Only II
C) I and II
D) None of these
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
As traditional breeding techniques failed to keep pace with demand and to provide sufficiently fast and efficient systems for crop improvement another technology called tissue culture got developed. This is method of producing thousands of plants through tissue culture is called micro-propagation. Initially the culturing of cells or tissues results in the formation of an undifferentiated mass of cells called callus, which later differentiates to produce a large number of plantlets. These plantlets are then transferred to separate pots or nursery beds for obtain a large number of plantlets.
