    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     Chromonema is a localized condensed region of chromosome. The term 'non disjunction' refers to the failure of chromosomes to be separated during meiosis or mitosis. 'Master and slave hypothesis' was proposed by Callan and Lloyd (1960) for lampbrush chromosome. Chromocentre is a structure from which arms of polytene chromosome radiate. It is formed by the fusion of centromeric regions of all the chromosomes and in males, entirely Y-chromosome.
