a) Transcription
b) Crossing over
c) Movement of chromosomes towards poles
d) Cleavage
View Answer
Explanation: Centromere is a special region of a chromosome. It helps in the movement of chromosomes towards poles.
2. Polytene chromosomes are formed due to _____________
a) Endomitosis
b) Meiosis
c) Mitosis
d) Endomixis
View Answer
Explanation: Polytene chromosomes are oversized chromosomes. It is formed due to endomitosis (without cell division).
3. Racker’s particles occur in _________

b) Nucleus
c) Chromosome
d) Golgi complex
View Answer
Explanation: Racker’s particles occur in Mitochondria. They are also known as F1 particles. They help in production of ATP.
4. Cell membrane is ___________

b) Permeable
c) Selectively permeable
d) Impermeable
View Answer
Explanation: Cell membrane is also known as plasma membrane. It is semi permeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell.
5. Which of the following does not have a membrane?
a) Ribosome
b) Mitochondria
c) Nucleus
d) Chloroplast
View Answer
Explanation: Ribosome are the protein builders or the protein synthesizer of the cell. They consist of two major components: the small subunit and the large subunit.
