Biology Question on Tissue Culture
What is the reason of formation of embryoid from pollen grain in tissue culture medium
A
Cellular totipotency
B
Organogenesis
C
Double fertilization
D
Test tube culture
Answer
Cellular totipotency
Explanation
Solution
The correct option is (A): Cellular totipotency
A mass of tissue created during culture is called an embryoid. Cellular totipotency is what causes pollen in tissue culture media to develop into an embryo. A cell's capacity to differentiate into distinct cell types is known as cell potency. A cell's potency increases with the number of various cell types it may differentiate into.
