Solution

The correct option is B Chromomeres
  • At the time of cell division chromosomes divide itself into two halves also called as arms, these arms are termed as chromatids. They also contain genetic material (DNA).
  • Chromonremata are the coiled structures that contain genes and are present on the chromosomes.
  • Chromomeres are the bead-like structure present on the chromonemata, they are formed into beads due to the accumulation of DNA and proteins as the process of transcription does not occur.
  • Telomeres are the terminal or end structure of the arms of chromosomes.
  • Secondary constriction is present near the centromere of the chromosome, they are helpful in identifying the number of sets of chromosomes.
So, the correct option is 'Chromomeres'
