This document contains a model test paper for a B.Sc. in Biotechnology with questions on plant tissue culture. It asks students to define key terms like culture medium, organogenesis, surface sterilization and growth hormones. It also asks them to identify who is known as the "Father of Plant Biotechnology" and what structures embryoids and callus are. The questions cover topics like single cell culture, haploids, somatic embryogenesis, somaclonal variation, and somatic hybridization. Students are asked to describe techniques and processes and give advantages and disadvantages.
