Plant Tissue Culture starts at 10 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Plant Tissue Culture.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 12

Explain how the use of double-layered media can enhance the efficiency of somatic embryogenesis in plant tissue culture.
