Question

In somatic cell hybridization

• A. Cell walls of two varieties of a species are removed
• B. Fusion of two cells occurs
• C. New plantlets are produced
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

In somatic cell hybridization, the body cells are taken from two different varieties of a species or even from two different species.
* Their cell walls are removed by certain chemicals.
* Then they are fused either by chemicals or by a very brief high voltage electric current.
* Then they are cultured and treated chemically to regenerate cell walls and then they begin to divide to produce plantlets.
