Cloning Plants & Animals
Plant Cloning
Cloning can also happen as a result of human intervention. Tissue culture or micro-propagation is a way of propagating plants very quickly by taking a small number of cells from a 'parent' plant and growing them in a medium rich in nutrients and plant growth hormones.
This technique involves the following steps:
. A small amount of parent tissue or a number of cells are taken and
2. transferred to plates containing sterile nutrient agar jelly,
3. Auxins are added to stimulate the cells to divide by mitosis
