Solution
The correct option is A Mitosis The explants are the tissues of the plant which are selected for the plant tissue culture technique. The cells in the explants divide by mitosis and increase in number. The explant divides and redivides to form an undifferentiated mass of cells which is known as the callus tissue. The cells divide by mitosis and so, all the cells in the callus tissue are identical to the explant selected.
