Chromosomal theory of inheritance was based on

  1. segregation of genes

  2. diploidy and haploidy

  3. sex linkage

  4. presence of sex chromosomes


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The behaviour of homologous chromosomes during meiosis (their segregation) and independent assortment) and their reunion in fertilisation confirmed that the genetic material occurs in the chromosomes and formed the basis of chromosomal theory of inheritance. Which is propounded independentaly by Sutton and Boveri in 1902. A karyotype composed of two identical sets of dissimilar chromosomes is called diploid set and of single set of chromosomes is called haploid set.

Cancer cells are characterized by

  4. all of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Cancer is characterized by uncontrolled growth and division of cells. Abnormal and persistent cell division localized in a particular region is called benign tumour. Tumour cells may be carried by blood steam or lymph or penetrate directly to other parts of the tissue resulting in dangerous malignant tumour. The spread of cancerous cells to distant sites is termed as metastasis.

The liver of an alcohol addicted person gets destroyed because

  1. liver starts storing excess of protein

  2. liver starts storing excess of fat

  3. liver starts storing excess of starch

  4. liver starts storing excess of glycogen


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In a person, addict for alcohol a part of alcohol is changed to acetaldehyde. Hangover is due to it.

There is little regulation of fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism. This disorder is called fatty liver syndrome. Liver later turns into a fibrous organ.
