Plant tissue culture is a method of asexual reproduction used to produce clones of a plant with desirable traits. Plant tissue culture relies on the fact that plant cells have the ability to regenerate a whole plant. Single cells are dosed with certain chemicals that trigger dividing cells to produce roots, shoots, and leaves. Which tenet of cell theory BEST serves as a basis for this type of biotechnology?
