Question

What is totipotency in biology?

• A. The ability of a cell to differentiate into various specialized cell types
• B. The ability of a cell to divide by mitosis
• C. The ability of a cell to replicate its celluar components
• D. The ability of a cell to replicate its DNA

Hint:

In plant tissue culture, auxin and cytokinin concentrations are used to regulate totipotent cells:
- High Auxin : Low Cytokinin $\rightarrow$ induces root differentiation.
- Low Auxin : High Cytokinin $\rightarrow$ induces shoot differentiation.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A
