58 Polytene chromosomes were first observed by
A Batanetzky-1980
B Heitz and Bauer-1935
C Balbiani-1881
D Stevens and Wilson-1905

Answer: Option [C]

Polytene chromosomes were first observed by Balbiani-1881. Polytene chromosomes were first discovered in the 1880s in insects (Balbiani 1881). One of the earliest published examples of polytene chromosomes is of Chironimus salivary gland chromosomes found in Walther Flemming's 1882 book, Zellsubstanz, Kern, und Zelltheilung (Flemming 1882).

59 The structure present over chromosome is
A Nucleolus
B Centromere
C Centrochrome
D Golgi bodies

Answer: Option [B]

The structure present over chromosome is Centromere. Centromere is a region of chromosomes which holds sister chromatids together and the area where chromosome are attached to spindle fibres during cell division.

60 A genome is the
A Diploid set of chromosomes
B Haploid set of chromosomes
C Triploid set of chromosomes
D All the above

Answer: Option [B]

A genome is the Haploid set of chromosomes. A genome can be defined as the haploid set of chromosomes in a gamete or microorganism, or in each cell of a multicellular organism. A genome is an organism's complete set of DNA, including all of its genes. Each genome contains all of the information needed to build and maintain that organism.
