The most important advantage of micropropagation is:
| 1. | production of virus free plants |
| 2. | rapid production of a large number of genetically identical superior plants |
| 3. | creation of somaclonal variations for effective germplasm collection |
| 4. | production of transgenic plants |

The plantlets produced during plant tissue culture are called somaclones because:
| 1. | They can be produced in a very short span of time |
| 2. | They are the result of the somatic hybridization of two cells |
| 3. | The gametes develop parthenogenetically to produce genetically identical plantlets |
| 4. | They are genetically identical to the original plant from which they were grown |

Somaclonal variations are:
| 1. | seen in plants that have been produced by plant tissue culture. |
| 2. | due to environmental factors and have no evolutionary advantage. |
| 3. | induced by mutations and are inherited. |
| 4. | not useful in plant breeding programs. |
