(NEET-2013)
Solution
(b) : Somatic embryos develop from somatic cells.Their development is comparable to that of a zygotic embryo. They are just like a normal embryo except that their development is induced from a diploid somatic cell. Somatic embryo culture is induced by a high concentration of an auxin. Microspores are haploid cells which do not give rise to somatic embryo.
