Solution:
- Micropropagation is the method of large production of plantlets in a less time.
- A small piece of plant tissue is cultured in a sterile medium which later develops into new plantlets.
- An offsprings produced by this methods are the exact copy of their parent plant.
- So, the offsprings are called as somaclones.
Advantages of micropropagation are:
- Large production of plants in less time.
- Offspring can be with the desired character of parent plants.
