Protoplast Transformation Methods Quiz

Protoplasts are resistant to stress during the gene transfer process

Protoplasts are easier to genetically modify compared to other plant cells

Protoplasts can be cultured and lead to the regeneration of whole plants (correct)

Protoplasts have limited diversity in terms of genotypes

To limit the diversity of genotypes within plant species

To overcome the difficulty of identifying target cells for gene transformation

To cater to the enormous diversity of plant species and genotypes available (correct)

To simplify the process of gene transfer in plants

Animal cells are totipotent and can regenerate more efficiently than plant cells

Animal cells do not require in vitro conditions for regeneration

Plant cells are totipotent and can be stimulated to regenerate into whole plants (correct)

Plant cells are incapable of regeneration into whole plants
