[C] 13-15
[D] 4-5

Comment

Answer: Option [D]

The human chromosomes are divided into 7 groups. B-chromosomes are 4-5. Group B chromosomes include chromosomes 4 and 5. These are large and are submetacentric.

[A] G1 phase
[B] S phase
[C] G2 phase
[D] M phase

(85) In recent past human chromosomes have been studied by technique using specific oftenfluorescent dyes, known as
[A] dyeing technique
[B] banding technique
[C] ultra dyeing technique
[D] karyotyping technique

Comment

Answer: Option [B]

The correct answer is banding technique. In metaphase, chromosomes can be identified using certain staining techniques, so called banding. Cells are cultured and then stopped in metaphase to maximize the number of suitable cells. They are then spread on a slide, stained with a suitable dye and visualized in the microscope.
