Question

Characters transmitted from parents to offspring are present in

• A. Cytoplasm
• B. Ribosome
• C. Golgi bodies
• D. Genes

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Genes

The correct Option is D

Explanations for correct option:

1. The characteristics that are transmitted from parents to offspring are present in genes.
2. Genes are present on chromosomes.
3. The human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes.
4. The trait is one of the characteristics determined by one or more genes

Explanations for incorrect options:

Option A:

1. The cytoplasm is a thick fluid that surrounds and fills each cell.
2. The cytoplasm contains all of the organelles found in eukaryotic cells, including the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria.

Option B:

1. A ribosome is an intercellular structure composed of both RNA and protein that serves as the cell's center of protein synthesis.
2. The ribosome reads the messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence and converts it into a specific string of amino acids, which grows into long chains that fold to create proteins.

Option C:

1. A Golgi body, also known as a Golgi apparatus, is a cell organelle that aids in the processing and packaging of proteins and lipid molecules, particularly proteins intended for cell export.

Final Answer: Characters transmitted from parents to offspring are present in genes.
