PROCESS:
Sterilise Petri Dish
Scalpel is Used to Cut Out Explant of Plant with Desired Characteristic
Use Tweezers to Transfer Explant into Agar
Auxins and Nutrients are Added as a Growth Medium
Provide Light and Water for Energy for Growth
Roots will Grow and Plants will Grow, Allowing the Production of Commercial Quantities of identical Plants with Desirable Characteristics
