The term micropropagation refers to:

Answer: Large-scale clonal propagation of plants using tissue culture.

  • A Propagation of bacterial colonies on nutrient agar plates
  • B Large-scale clonal propagation of plants using tissue culture
  • C Propagation of viruses within susceptible host cell lines
  • D Propagation of microbes such as Spirulina for SCP production

Correct answer: B. Large-scale clonal propagation of plants using tissue culture

Explanation: Micropropagation is a tissue culture technique used to produce large numbers of genetically identical plants (clones) from a small amount of plant material.

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.
