Team JKSSB Mock Tests · Accepted Answer

Meristem culture, a type of tissue culture, involves excising the virus-free apical meristem (shoot tip) and growing it on a nutrient medium to produce a whole plant free of viruses. This is because meristematic cells lack vascular connections through which viruses spread. Cloning produces identical copies, hybridization crosses varieties, mutagenesis uses mutagens.
