Expert Answer
(i) The property which enables the explants to regenerate into a new plant is called totipotency.
(ii) Healthy banana plants can be obtained from diseased plants by meristem culture. We select the apical and axillary meristem because it is free of virus. The meristem is taken out and is cultured in vitro by micropropagation in which virus-free plants are produced.
