    Micropropagation uses tissue culture to clone plants by producing many identical copies. Small pieces of tissue are taken from a desirable plant and placed in agar with hormones to grow undifferentiated callus cells. The callus cells are then induced to differentiate into plantlets using hormones, which are planted and grown in a greenhouse to produce large quantities of identical plants.

    IGCSE Exam Question on Cloning Plants

    Describe how micropropagation (tissue culture) can be used to


    produce large quantities of identical plants (6)

    Micropropagation is a modern method of cloning plants. Tissue is


    removed from the ideal plant, and then placed on agar to grow an
    undifferentiated callus. Plant hormones are added to the
    undifferentiated callus so that it differentiates into planters which
    then are planted and grown in a greenhouse.
