Benefits of micropropogation :
·
Rapid production and high yield Disease free plants Seedless fruits .
Grow rare or sterile plants
Drawbacks of micropropogation :
monoculture Expensive and complex ·
Vulnerable to mould .
Disease will affect an clones produced
Cloning in invertibrates :
Limb
regeneration and done production

Artificial twinning Often used to produce optimal :
offspring in livestock
.
Eggs are removed and fertilised ,

Totipotent embryo ceus can then be split to form several identical embryos
