Multiple choice

The propagation of plants by tissue culture technique is becoming popular because

  1. the plants produced have uniform growth and productivity characteristics

  2. most plants respond to this technique

  3. variability can be increased

  4. it is the most simple technique

A Correct answer
Explanation

Tissue culture produces clones - genetically identical plants with uniform growth and productivity characteristics (A). This uniformity is valuable for commercial agriculture and research. Variability (C) is actually reduced in tissue culture, not increased. Not all plants respond well to this technique (contradicting B), and it's actually quite complex (contradicting D). The key advantage is genetic uniformity and disease-free propagation.
