Solution

The correct option is C Both the statements are correct
In tissue culture, tissues or cells are removed from the growing tip of the parent plant. They are placed in a culture medium under sterile conditions for growth. They divide rapidly to form a small group of cells or callus. For further growth and differentiation, the callus is shifted to another medium containing hormones. From the callus, plantlets arise, which can be planted in soil to give rise to full-grown in disease free conditions.
