Different Methods of Cloning

The document discusses methods of cloning in biology, specifically through cuttings and tissue culture. Cuttings involve taking parts from a healthy parent plant to produce genetically identical clones, whereas tissue culture uses plant cells in a growth medium to quickly generate new plants in a compact environment. Both methods allow for rapid and cost-effective production of identical plants.

Different Methods of Cloning
- 2. Cuttings and Tissue Culture Cuttings You can take cuttings from a good parent plant and then plant them to produce genetically identical copies (clones) of the parent plant. These plants are produced quickly and cheaply. Tissue Culture This is when a few plant cells are put in a growth medium with hormones and they grow into new plants clones of the parent plant.These plants can be made very quickly in very little space and can be grown all year.
