  1. Cellular totipotency was demonstrated by
    1. Theodore Schwann
    2. A.V. Leeuwenhoek
    3. F.C. Steward
    4. Robert Hooke
Correct Option: C

F.C. Steward & co-workers in 1964 raised the entire carrot plant from carrotroot culture. They established the cellular totipotency i.e. capacity of a cell to develop a new plant. However the idea of totipotency was given earlier by German botanist Gottlieb Haberlandt. He tried to grow isolated leaf cell but could not succeed.
