Question
Is the DNA in any fruits can be used to clone fruits in times of scarcity? or what's the use of DNA in fruits for?
Answer
Dear ayshiree9, the DNA found in plants is not used to clone them. That requires technology that has not been developed yet. When growers clone plants, they remove samples of tissue and grow that tissue into a new plant using one of several different methods. The DNA found in the fruits, like other parts of the plant, is needed to guide the growth of the plant and (that found in the seeds) to code for the growth of a new individual.
