Solution

The correct option is D 4
- In 1900, three scientists (de Vries, Correns and von Tschermak) independently rediscovered Mendel’s work.

- Coloured bodies called chromosomes found inside the nucleus can be visualized by staining. Lysosomes are cell organelles found in the cytoplasm outside the nucleus.

- By 1902, chromosomal movement during meiosis had been worked and studied due to advancement in microscopy.

- Mitosis is a kind of equational division as the number of chromosomes remains same in parent cell and daughter cells. Meiosis is a reductional division where daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes compared to the parent cell.

- Chromosomes and genes occur in pairs.

- Two alleles of a gene are located on a homologous site on homologous chromosomes.

Hence, statements I, IV, V and VI are correct.
