(C). Arabidopsis thaliana(III). 40
(D). E. coli(IV). 46
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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 4040 chromosomes (2n = 40).<br><br><em>Homosapiens</em>(Human)has46).<br><br><em>Homo sapiens</em> (Human) has 46 chromosomes (2n = 46).<br><br><em>Arabidopsisthaliana</em>has10).<br><br><em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em> has 10 chromosomes (2n = 10).<br><br><em>E.coli</em>isaprokaryoteandhas1).<br><br><em>E. coli</em> 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)
