The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Lampbrush chromosomes were first observed by Flemming (1882), but were first described by Ruckert (1892). These chromosomes occur in the diplotene stage of meiotic prophase-I during oogenesis in amphibian oocytes. The chromosomes are highly elongated special kind of synapsed midprophase or diplotene chromosome bivalents (i.e. two pairs of sister chromatids held together by" chiasmata). These chromosomes are larger than even polytene chromosomes. In lampbrush chromosome, the strands of chromosome ( consisting of two double strands of DNA) are dotted with about 5000 chromomeres (dark staining irregular structures).Twin loops emerge from chromomeres. These loops are identical on both pairs of sister chromatids.

Cell: The Unit of Life
- A cell is derived as the functional and structural unit of life. Every cell is surrounded by a cell membrane that dissects the external and internal environments of the cell. The interior environment of a cell is called the cytoplasm.
- It carries cellular machinery and structural elements. The nucleus is present in the center of the cell, which includes all the hereditary information of an organism. Some of the molecules present in the cell are protein, carbohydrates, starch, and sugar.
