Question
Would it be wrong to call plants obtained through micro-propagation as ‘clones’? Comment.
✓

Answer

It depends on the source of gene pool. If a plant is produced from a single plant through micro-propagation, then it will be a clone. If a plant is produced after combining genes from more than one plant, then it cannot be a clone.
