Answer 1

Correct answer is c) meristem culture

Answer 2

Answer:

option c is the right answer

Explanation:

The shoot apical meristem along with some surrounding tissue is grown in in-vitro, in the process of meristem culture. Clonal propagation and recovery of virus-free plants use this system. It is also very useful in germ plasm exchange and also storage of germ plasm for the long term using freeze preservation.
