Aims
In this activity students will use an aseptic (sterile) technique and a small part of a cauliflower ‘flower’ to clone and create an entirely new plant.
Learning outcomes
After completing this practical, students should be able to:
• state why plant clones are genetically identical to each other
• explain how using tissue culture creates a clone of a plant
• explain why it is easier to clone a plant than an animal
• explain and carry out a practical accurately and safely in order to successfully clone a plant.
Specification references:
