Options

  1. A(A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)
  2. B(A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV)
  3. C(A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)
  4. D(A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)

Correct answer

A. (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)

Step-by-step solution

The chromosome number for the given organisms are as follows: Mus musculus (House mouse) has 40 chromosomes ( 2n = 40 ). Homo sapiens (Human) has 46 chromosomes ( 2n = 46 ). Arabidopsis thaliana has 10 chromosomes ( 2n = 10 ). E. coli is a prokaryote and has 1 chromosome. Therefore, the correct matching is (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (II), (D) - (I). Answer: (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)
