Question

Unlike the somatic cells of animals, plant cells can be grown in tissue culture and regenerate new plants ____________________.

• A. Because each cell contains the entire genome
• B. Because plant cells can dedifferentiate and revert back to seeds
• C. Because plant cells are able to express genes that weren't previously expressed
• D. Both a and b
• E. Both b and c

Answer 1

The correct option is C Because plant cells are able to express genes that weren't previously expressed

Explanation: In plants this is accomplished through the use of tissue culture. Each plant species has different requirements for successful regeneration. If successful, the technique produces an adult plant that contains the transgene in every cell.
