Solution

The correct option is A Acetabularia

  • Hammerling's nucleocytoplasmic experiments state that the cytoplasm is the centre for all the metabolic activities in the cell and the nucleus is the controlling centre.

  • This experiment was conducted using Acetabularia.

  • Acetabularia is a genus unicellular or single-celled green algae belonging to the family Polyphysaceae which are found in subtropical waters.

  • They are gigantic in size and complex in form, therefore, used in experiments in cell biology.

  • So, the correct answer is 'Acetabularia'.
