Why can mature plants be cloned to produce genetically identical copies?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mature plant cells have the ability to differentiate and develop into all the specialized cells of an adult plant. This means that a single mature plant cell can be used to grow an entire genetically identical copy of the original plant. This process is known as cloning and is a common practice in agriculture and horticulture. The other choices are not true, as mature plant cells contain all the genes found in an adult plant, plants have not necessarily evolved to suit human agriculture, and not all plants have been engineered to have the ability to clone themselves.
