Question

What is incorrect about tissue culture?

• A. It has to be done in sterile conditions.
• B. It is done in a laboratory.
• C. It is started with a very small part of the parent plant.
• D. Its end result is a shapeless mass of cells.

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Its end result is a shapeless mass of cells.

In tissue culture, a very small part of a plant is taken and grown in laboratory conditions. This gives rise to a callus, a shapeless mass of cells. From the callus, plantlets arise, which can be planted in soil to give rise to full-grown plants.
