MCQ

Question

Statements given below are either TRUE (I) or FALSE (F). Find the correct combination. P. Somatic embryo is unipolar in nature Q. Heterokaryon can be selected using a fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) R. The term somaclonal variation is coined by Larkin and Scowaoft S. Differentiation of shoot buds during in vitro culture is known as somatic embryogenesis

P-T, Q-F, R-T, S-F P-F, Q-T, R-F, S-T P-T, Q-F, R-F, S-T P-F, Q-T, R-T, S-F Correct

Explanation

Mechanistically, embryonic patterning involves morphogen gradients and induction control cell fate. This validates P-F, Q-T, R-T, S-F because it recapitulates developmental signaling, a pattern repeatedly demonstrated in developmental biology research.
