Answer: It yields genetically identical plants in large numbers.
- A It produces plants with entirely new gene combinations
- B It yields genetically identical plants in large numbers
- C It always removes every virus from the plant
- D It produces seeds that germinate faster
Correct answer: B. It yields genetically identical plants in large numbers
