Question

The ability of the component cells of callus to form a whole plant is known as
A.redifferentiation
B. dedifferentiation
C. either (a) or (b)
D. none of these

Answer 1

I choose A re-differentiation

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The right answer is B. Dedifferentiation.

Explanation:

• Redifferentiation is the process by which differentiated cells lose their ability to divide and later regenerate from dedifferentiated cells.

• This allows  cells to regain certain functions.
• Dedifferentiation is a process that reduces the specificity of cells  in order to functionally restore them to their original state.
• Therefore, the ability of the component cells of callus to form a whole plant is known as dedifferentiation.
• Therefore, the correct option B. Dedifferentiation.
