Cellular totipotency is demonstrated by :

  1. All eukaryotic cells
  2. Only gymnosperm cells
  3. Only bacterial cells
  4. All plant cells

Answer

(4) All plant cells

Solution

As per NCERT, the capacity to generate a whole plant from any cell or explant is called totipotency; it is the basis of plant tissue culture.

∵ Any living plant cell (or explant) grown on a suitable nutrient medium can dedifferentiate and regenerate a complete plant; this is not true of most animal cells, and bacteria are unicellular prokaryotes.

∴ Cellular totipotency is demonstrated by plant cells (angiosperm as well as gymnosperm cells), i.e. all plant cells.
