Match List I with List II regarding the structure of a chromosome. List I List II A Kinetochore 1 Small fragment B Centromere 2 Primary constriction C Secondary constriction 3 Disc-shaped structure D Satellite 4 Non-staining region Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- A(A)-(2), (B)-(3), (C)-(4), (D)-(1)
- B(A)-(3), (B)-(2), (C)-(4), (D)-(1)
- C(A)-(3), (B)-(2), (C)-(1), (D)-(4)
- D(A)-(4), (B)-(2), (C)-(3), (D)-(1)
Correct answer
B. (A)-(3), (B)-(2), (C)-(4), (D)-(1)
Step-by-step solution
Kinetochores are disc-shaped structures present on the sides of the centromere. Thus, A matches with 3. The centromere is the primary constriction of the chromosome which holds two chromatids of a chromosome. Thus, B matches with 2. A secondary constriction is a non-staining region present at a constant location on some chromosomes. Thus, C matches with 4. The satellite is the small fragment of the chromosome that appears beyond the secondary constriction. Thus, D matches with 1. The correct matching is (A)-(3), (B
