Question

A plant cell has potential to develop into full plant. This
property of the plant cell is called.

• A. a) tissue culture
• B. b. totipotency.
• C. c) pleuripotency
• D. d) gene cloning

Answer 1

The correct option is B

b. totipotency.

Correct option: b) totipotency

An explanation for the correct option:

• Totipotency is the ability of a single cell to divide and produce any type of cells in living organisms.
  Example: Spores and Zygote (can give rise to any type of cells).
• Hence a plant cell has the potential to develop into a full plant. This property is called Totipotency.

An explanation for the incorrect options:

a) Tissue culture: Cultivation technique of plant and animal tissues in the artificial medium at the laboratory

c) Pleuripotent: These are the cells from an early embryo and can differentiate into any cell type but cannot form an entire organism.

d) Gene cloning: It is a molecular biological technique wherein exact copies of clones of a particular gene or DNA sequence are produced

Hence, the Correct option is b) totipotency
