Which of the following statements about somaclonal variations is not correct?
- A)
They can be used for preserving genetic identity.
- B)
They affect both nuclear and cytoplasmic genomes.
- C)
They occur due to induced chromosomal mutations.
D)
They can occur at any stage of plant tissue culture process.
Option (a) is correct because somaclonal variation refers to genetic variability produced during tissue culture. As genetic variations are produced, this method cannot be used for preserving genetic identity.
