Meristem culture or shoot tip culture is specifically used to obtain:

Answer: Virus-free plants through micropropagation.

  • A Polyploid plants with artificially doubled chromosome sets
  • B Callus tissue used specifically for SCP production
  • C Virus-free plants through micropropagation
  • D Plants carrying deliberately induced genetic mutations

Correct answer: C. Virus-free plants through micropropagation

Explanation: Meristem culture uses shoot apical meristems which are usually virus-free; this technique is used to produce disease-free (particularly virus-free) plants on a large scale.

Composite Fish Culture: Niches in One PondCatla (surface feeder)Rohu (middle feeder)Mrigal/Common carp (bottom feeder)

Different fish species occupy different feeding depths in the same pond without competing for food: Catla feeds near the surface, Rohu in the middle zone, and Mrigal or common carp at the bottom - letting a single pond support far more total fish than one species alone.
