Tissue culture technique can produce infinite number of new plants from a small parental tissue. The economic importance of the technique is in raising:

1. Variants through picking up somaclonal variations
2. Genetically uniform population identical to the original parent
3. Homozygous diploid plants
4. Development of new species

Correct answer: Genetically uniform population identical to the original parent

Solution

Tissue culture is used to rapidly multiply plants while keeping the offspring genetically the same as the parent. This is valuable for producing large numbers of uniform, true-to-type plants with desirable traits.
