Question

Which is not a connection between plasma membrane of adjacent cell?

• A. Desmosomes
• B. Tight junction
• C. Gap junction
• D. Transverse junction

Answer 1

The correct option is D Transverse junction

Cell junctions are a class of cellular structures comprising multi-protein complexes that provide contact between neighboring cells. In vertebrates, there are three major types of cell junction: Adherens junctions, desmosomes, and hemidesmosome (anchoring junctions) Gap junctions (communicating junction) Tight junctions (occluding junctions). Transverse junctions are not cell-to-cell junctions.

So the correct answer is option D.
