Questions and Answers

What is a primary advantage of micropropagation in relation to rubber trees?

  • It enables rapid propagation of valuable plants. (correct)
  • It allows for seed production year-round.
  • It increases the time required to breed difficult species.
  • It reduces the cost of traditional breeding methods.
  • Which of the following is NOT a benefit of micropropagation?

  • Improving food security and income generation.
  • Increasing the seed production frequency. (correct)
  • Providing abundant materials for research and plantation.
  • Regenerating disease-free plantlets.
  • How does micropropagation contribute to food security?

  • By requiring more land for traditional plant growth.
  • By generating more seeds each year.
  • By producing disease-free plantlets for healthy crops. (correct)

    Study Notes

    Rubber Tree Propagation

    • Rubber trees produce seeds twice a year, limiting propagation time.
    • Micropropagation overcomes this limitation, enabling propagation year-round.
    • Micropropagation is valuable for preserving desirable plants.
    • It facilitates breeding of difficult-to-breed species.
    • It accelerates plant breeding programs.
    • It provides ample plant material for research and plantations.
    • Micropropagation allows for the creation of disease-free plants from healthy plant tissue.

    Impact of Micropropagation

    • Micropropagation contributes substantially to food security.
    • It also enhances income generation.
    • Micropropagation technology is relatively inexpensive and easy to implement.
