Options:
A) PCR and RAPD
B) Northern blotting
C) Electrophoresis and HPLC
D) Microscopy
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
- In vitro clonal propagation in plants is characterised by the use of tissue culture techniques, which involve growing plant cells, tissues, or organs in a controlled, sterile environment to produce clones of the original plant. This process does not typically involve techniques like PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction), RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA), Northern blotting, electrophoresis, HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography), or microscopy as the primary methods for propagation.
