-
Locomotion
The vacuole are the membranous vesicular structures in the cells of the living organisms. The vacuoles are involved in the storage of the food materials. The presence of vacuole provides rigidity and shape to the cell with the help of turbulence. The wastes from the cells can be excreted with the help and movement of the vacuoles. The vacuoles are not responsible for locomotion.

-
The contractile vacuole disappears
-
The contractile vacuole increases in size
-
A number of contractile vacuoles appear
-
The contractile vacuole remains unchanged
Contractile vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles that pump excess water out of the protozoan. When the freshwater protozoan is placed in a marine environment it loses water due to exosmosis as salt concentration is high outside. The contractile vacuole disappears to prevent the loss of water from the organism because in the presence of contractile vacuoles the cell will be dehydrated.

Movement of chromosomes towards poles
The late prophase or metaphase chromosome has two similar threads or chromatids attached to each other by a narrow non stainable area called as centromere. The two parts of the chromatids on either side of centromere are called as arms. Centromeres bind to spindle fibres and help in movement of chromosomes to opposite poles.

A plant cell is characterised by a single large sap vacuole. They enclose sap or water with dissolved inorganic and organic substances. It is surrounded by a membrane called as tonoplast. Plant cell vacuole maintains osmotic pressure for turgidity and osmosis. They also store useful as well as waste substances. The growth in terms of increase in size depends on the elongation of the cell. For elongation of the cell, the protoplasm needs to push against cell wall from inside. The generation of pushing force depends on the osmotic pressure created by substances stored in central vacuole. Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Acentric chromosomes may be lost during cell division. An acentric fragment is a segment of a chromosome that lacks a centromere. Because the centromere is the point of attachment for the mitotic apparatus, acentric fragments are not evenly distributed to the daughter cells in cell division. As a result, one of the daughters will lack the acentric fragment. Lack of the acentric fragment in one of the daughter cells may have deleterious consequences, depending on the function of the DNA in this region of the chromosome

- Telomeres are essential nucleoprotein structures at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes. They play several essential roles preserving genome stability and function, including distinguishing chromosome ends from DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs) and maintenance of chromosome length.
- The centromere is the point of attachment of the kinetochore, a structure to which the microtubules of the mitotic spindle become anchored.
- Satellite DNA consists of very large arrays of tandemly repeating, non-coding DNA. Satellite DNA is the main component of functional centromeres, and form the main structural constituent of heterochromatin.
(i) Centromere is present in the middle of the chromosome and forms two equal arms.
(ii) Chromosome has a terminal centromere.
(iii) Centromere lies close to the end of the chromosomes forming one extremely short and one very long arm.
(iv) Centromere lies slightly away from the middle of the longer arm.

In condensed state of mitochondria
-
ATP Synthesis is reduced
-
Oxidative phosphorylation and ETS occurs at faster rate
-
Intermembrane space becomes smaller
-
Core or matrix is enlarged
One of the two morphological forms of a mitochondrion is 'condensed' form observed in mitochondria with high respiratory rates (ATP formation is high with increased rates of Kreb's cycle, ETS, and oxidative phosphorylation). In this type of confirmation, the matrix volume inside inner membrane is not very large causing the inner membrane to move away from outer membrane causing the intermembrane space to swell except at the site of where two are connected. Thus considering all the details about this form of the mitochondrion.

-
Acrocentric
-
Sub meta centric
-
Meta centric
-
Telocentric
- A telocentric chromosome, the centromere is located at the terminal end of the chromosome.
- A telocentric chromosome has therefore only one arm.
- Telomeres may extend from both ends of the chromosome, their shape is similar to letter I during anaphase.
