Q.Which of the following statement is correct

Somatic embryogenesis is the formation of embryo-like structures, called embryoids, either directly from callus tissue that has undergone a further round of differentiation, or directly from pre-embryonic cells that arise straight from cultured cells without passing through a callus stage at all. Because these embryoids form from somatic (non-reproductive) cells rather than from the fusion of male and female gametes, somatic embryogenesis produces a structure that develops just like a zygotic embryo but bypasses sexual reproduction entirely. This gives somatic embryogenesis two major practical applications covered elsewhere in the chapter: the resulting plantlets can, after a hardening period, be established directly as new, complete plants, and the embryoids th …
