Options
(a) A somatic embryo develops from a somatic cell
(b) The pattern of development of a somatic embryo is comparable to that of a zygotic embryo
(c) Somatic embryos can develop from microspores
(d) Sonmatic embryo is induced usually by an auxin such as 2, 4-D
Correct Answer:
Somatic embryos can develop from microspores
Explanation:
Somatic embryogenesis is a process where a plant or embryo is derived from a single somatic cell or group of somatic ells. Somatic embryos are formed from plant cells that are not normally involved in the development of embryos, i.e., ordinary plant tissue. No endosperm or seed coat is formed around a somatic embryo.
