(ii) are thread like structures located inside the nucleus of an animal cell.
(iii) always exist in pairs in human reproductive cells.
(iv) are involved in the process of cell division.
The correct statements are:

• B. (iii) and (iv)
• C. (i), (ii) and (iv)
• D. (i) and (iv)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Chromosomes carry genetic information and are thread-like structures located in the nucleus. They are involved in cell division and help pass hereditary traits from one generation to the next. However, in reproductive cells, chromosomes do not always exist in pairs.
