What is the advantage of producing somaclones through tissue culture?
The ability to produce plants with desirable characteristics
The production of plants that are genetically identical to the original plant
The ability to recover healthy plants from diseased plants
The production of hybrid plants with desirable traits
Somaclones produced through tissue culture are genetically identical to the original plant from which they were grown. This allows for the production of large numbers of plants with desirable characteristics, such as disease resistance or increased yield.
Option 2 is the correct answer.
