The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Micropropagation**: Micropropagation is a technique used in plant tissue culture to produce a large number of plants from a small amount of plant tissue. This process allows for the rapid multiplication of plants. 2. **Analyzing the Statements**: - **(I) To generate some clonal variation which are exploited for crop improvement**: Micropropagation primarily produces clones of the parent plant, so it does not typically generate clonal variation. - **(II) To multiply genetically uniform population**: This is a key advantage of micropropagation. It allows for the production of genetically identical plants, ensuring uniformity in traits. - **(III) To generate new species**: Micropropagation does not directly create new species; it is mainly used for cloning existing species. - **(IV) To produce heterozygous plants**: Micropropagation produces clones that are genetically uniform (homozygous), not heterozygous. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the most accurate statement regarding the usefulness of micropropagation is (II) - to multiply genetically uniform population. ### Final Answer: Micropropagation is useful primarily for statement **(II)**: To multiply genetically uniform population. ---
