Question

Which of the following statements is not true ​regarding tissue culture?

• A. Agar is the gel medium that supplies nutrients to tissue culture plants.​
• B. In vivo growth of plant cells in a medium that supplies ​
  nutrients is called tissue culture.​
• C. A plant can fully grow in a short period of time via tissue culture.​

Answer 1

The correct option is B In vivo growth of plant cells in a medium that supplies ​

nutrients is called tissue culture.​

• In tissue culture technology, a sample tissue is taken from the desired plant and is placed in a growth medium known as agar. The growth of plant cells in the nutrient medium is in vitro.
• In vivo means "within the living" while in vitro means "outside the living" which is also known as test tube experiments.
• Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
