Question

Choose the correct option with respect to the following statements.
(i) The genetic constitution of a plant is unaffected by vegetative propagation.
(ii) The rhizome of Ginger serves as an organ of vegetative reproduction.
(iii) Totipotency of cells enables us to micropropagate plants.

• A. i and ii correct
• B. i, ii, iii all correct
• C. Only iii is true
• D. Only ii is true
• E. ii and iii are true

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

i, ii, iii all correct

Reproduction occurs through vegetative plant structures derived from roots, stems, and leaves. Vegetative structures include rhizomes, runners, bulbs, tubers, corms, and buds.

Because almost all plants are totipotent, plant tissue culture i.e. micropropagation is used for aseptic cells, tissues, organs of their components in invitro.

So the correct option is 'i, ii, iii all correct'.
