Describe how to produce plants through micropropagation.

Description should include using a lab-based procedure involving tissue culture of popular house plants (e.g., African violets, day lilies, ferns). 

Process/Skill Questions:

  • What is micropropagation?
  • Why do agriculturists use micropropagation?
  • What are the steps to follow for micropropagation?
  • What materials are necessary to perform micropropagation?
  • Why is a sterile environment critical to micropropagation?
