[A] Mendel
[B] Strasburger
[C] Darwin
[D] Levitzky

Comment

Answer: Option [B]

The correct answer is Strasburger. Strasburger in 1875 first observed chromosome during cell division and described chromosomes as thread like structures in nucleus.

(7) Genes are made up of:
[A] Histones
[B] Lipoproteins
[C] Polynucleotides
[D] Hydrocarbons

Comment

Answer: Option [C]

Genes are made up of polynucleotides. A polynucleotide molecule is a biopolymer composed of 13 or more nucleotide monomers covalently bonded in a chain. DNA and RNA are examples of polynucleotides with distinct biological function.

(8) The function of chrosomes of carrying genetic information from cell generation to another is performed by:
[A] RNA
[B] DNA
[C] Histones
[D] Calcium

Comment

Answer: Option [B]

Genes are made up of polynucleotides. A polynucleotide molecule is a biopolymer composed of 13 or more nucleotide monomers covalently bonded in a chain. DNA and RNA are examples of polynucleotides with distinct biological function.

(9) In chrosomes, the material controlling heredity is
[A] DNA
[B] Histones
[C] Chromocentres
[D] RNA

Comment

Answer: Option [A]

The correct answer is DNA. DNA results in the formation of RNA which results in the formation of proteins and thus decides the phenotype. Thus, the component of a chromosome that controls heredity and inheritance is DNA.

(10) The term 'gene' refers to:
[A] A portion of RNA
[B] A linkage group
[C] A portions of DNA
[D] A sequence of Amino

Comment

Answer: Option [C]

The term 'gene' refers to a portions of DNA. Genes are made up of sequences of DNA and are arranged, one after another, at specific locations on chromosomes in the nucleus of cells.
