Solution: Plant cells can be cultured in vitro more easily than animal cells. The reasons behind this are as follows:
(a) Meristem is present in a plant, and meristem cells are always divided. After a certain age, the majority of cells in animals stop dividing. In an adult mammal, cell division is primarily used for repair.
b) Plant tissues dedifferentiate in response to stress, while animal tissues do not. Dedifferentiation refers to a cell’s ability to both lose and regain its differentiation ability. The plants were able to dedifferentiate and revert to being meristematic. This is a skill that animals lack.
