Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D Totipotency
Totipotency is the genetic potential of a plant cell to produce the entire plant. In other words, totipotency is the cell characteristic in which the potential for forming all the cell types in the adult organism is retained.
Cell cloning: The process of producing a group of cells that are genetically identical (clones) to a single ancestral cell.
Pluripotency : A pluripotent cell can create all cell types except for extra embryonic tissue.
Tissue culture is the invitro culture of plants.
