Question

Micropropagation means

• A. Preparation of tissue in the laboratory
• B. Genetic engineering
• C. Growth of plantlets in nutrient media in the laboratory
• D. Preparation of new tissue by DNA recombination

Answer 1

The correct option is C Growth of plantlets in nutrient media in the laboratory

Micropropagation is a tissue culture technique for plant propagation in which tissue is taken from a plant and grown in a laboratory to produce plants that are genetically identical to the parent. The small portion of plant tissue, sometimes only a single cell, is placed on a growth medium, typically containing sucrose as an energy source.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
