Correct Answer
A plant cell without cell wall
Detailed Explanation
Scientists have isolated single cells from plants and after digesting their cell walls have been able to isolate naked protoplasts (surrounded by plasma membranes).
Isolated protoplasts from two different varieties of plants - each having a desirable character - can be fused to get hybrid protoplasts, which can be further grown to form a new plant. These hybrids are called somatic hybrids while the process is called somatic hybridisation.
