Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In which asexual reproduction method does the new plant grow in artificial media under sterile conditions?
A
Cutting
B
Division
C
Tissue Culture
D
Layering
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Using tissue culture, sometimes called micropropagation, tiny fragments of plants are treated with plant hormones in a sterile growing medium. The hormones stimulate the growth of a callus, from which a new seedling can grow. This method is used to produce large numbers of identical seedlings.

Detailed explanation-2: -Artificial methods of asexual reproduction are frequently employed to give rise to new, and sometimes novel, plants. They include grafting, cutting, layering, and micropropagation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plant cloning, such as the use of plant tissue culture techniques, is an asexual reproduction of plants to produce duplicates from one plant specimen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tissue culture is used to develop thousands of genetically identical plants from one single parent plant known as somaclones, and this process is known as micropropagation.

Detailed explanation-5: -Tissue culture is a form of artificial asexual reproduction in plants. Tissue culture is also known as micropropagation. It is a method where large number of plants are propagated from a single parent in a short period under laboratory conditions.
