Questions and Answers

What is micropropagation?

  • Sexual propagation of plants for commercial purposes
  • Propagation of plants through fusion of parental gametes
  • Mass vegetative production of plants in vitro for commercial plant production (correct)
  • Asexual propagation of plants through zygotic embryos
  • What are the advantages of seed propagation?

  • Seeds are often produced in large numbers and can be stored for long periods without loss of viability (correct)
  • Plants grown from seeds are generally free from pests and diseases
  • Seed propagation ensures perpetuation of unique characteristics of individual plants
  • Plants regenerated from seeds are individually inexpensive and easily distributed
  • What is a disadvantage of seed propagation?

  • Plants grown from seeds are more susceptible to pests and diseases
  • Seeds lose their viability after long storage periods
  • Plants regenerated from seeds are not genetically identical to the parent plant
  • Some plants do not produce viable seeds (correct)
  • How do plants arise in the sexual cycle?
