Question

Anil wants to see microscopic view of the organelle which takes part in the transmission of hereditary characters from one generation to the next. Which labelled part will his teacher focus to make a microscopic view of the organelle?

• A. P
• B. Q
• C. R
• D. S

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Q is the nucleus. The nucleus is the important part of the cell which is responsible for the transmission of hereditary characters. It contains the hereditary material called DNA. When a cell multiplies, the nucleus will also divide, inside which the DNA also replicates. In animal cells, it is centrally located and in the plant cell, it is located at the periphery of the cytoplasm.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
