Q. Plants in comparison to animals are more rapidly manipulated by genetic engineering. Select out the most probable reason for this
A) Totipotency shown by plant cells
B) Single somatic cell can regenerate a whole plant body
C) Genetic engineering is supplemented with plant tissue culture techniques
D) All of the above
Explanation
