Solution
The correct option is A X- Cheek cell; Y- Onion cell
- The characteristics show that ‘X’ is an animal cell and ‘Y’ is a plant cell. This is because plants contain chloroplast with the help of which they perform photosynthesis.
- They also have a cell wall mainly made up of cellulose which provides structure and rigidity to the plant cell. Onion cell is an example of a plant cell.
- An animal cell lacks a cell wall and does not contain chloroplast. Cheek cell is an example of an animal cell.
- Therefore, X is a cheek cell while Y is an onion cell.
- Hence, the correct answer is option B.
