- D. Medium sized chromosome
Answer
C. Special structure formed by extension of plasma membrane
Step-by-step solution
Mesosomes are formed by the extensions of plasma membrane into the cell. Thus, option (3) is correct. Lysosomes are membrane bound vesicular structures. Thus, option (1) is incorrect. Several ribosomes may attach to a single mRNA and form a chain called polyribosomes. Thus, option (2) is incorrect.
