Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A method used by plant growers to clone plants with desirable traits.
A
vegetative reproduction
B
budding
C
tissue culture
D
fission
E
regeneration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Micropropagation is a method to produce genetically identical plantlets by using tissue culture techniques.

Detailed explanation-2: -Somatic embryogenesis : is an in vitro method of plant regeneration widely used as an important biotechnological tool for sustained clonal propagation [23]. It is a process by which somatic cells or tissues develop into differentiated embryos.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cells from meristems can be cloned . These cells can be removed from a plant and grown in tissue culture . The cells are grown in a culture medium that contains agar – to provide support and water for the growing cells – along with nutrients and plant hormones to stimulate growth and cell division.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plant tissue culture is defined as culturing plant seeds, organs, explants, tissues, cells, or protoplasts on a chemically defined synthetic nutrient media under sterile and controlled conditions of light, temperature, and humidity.

Detailed explanation-5: -And the term tissue culture refers to be used for cloning purposes, genetic modification of a given plant, or simply to accelerate or increase the yield of the plant of interest. The identical offspring created by asexual reproduction are clones.
