Many gardeners grow new plants from cuttings instead of from seeds.Which of the following is a reason for this?It is quicker than growing plants from seeds.The new plants will be genetically different to the parent plant.It is more expensive than growing plants from seeds.Growing new plants from cuttings is usually less successful than growing new plants from seeds.

Cuttings are a quick way of producing many new plants.Which of the following is a disadvantage of reproducing plants in this way?It is very expensive to produce cuttings in this way.Taking cuttings kills the parent plant.The cuttings will all be susceptible to the same diseases.The cuttings produced will be genetically different.

Tissue culture is another way of producing a lot of plants.Cells or a small piece of tissue are removed from a parent plant, treated with hormones and kept in sterile, nutrient rich conditions.Each cluster of cells will grow into a whole new plant, however, it is fairly expensive and must be done in a lab.Suggest an advantage of this technique over taking cuttings.It is a faster way of producing new plants.Many more offsprings can be made from one parent plant.It is more expensive to take cuttings.It is easier to produce plants by tissue culture.
