A. Snapdragons (Antirrhinum)
B. Pea plants (Pisum sativum)
C. Four o'clock plants (Mirabilis)
D. Fruit flies (Drosophila)

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Gregor Mendel, an Austrian monk, is known as the 'father of genetics' for his pioneering experiments on inheritance in the garden pea plant (Pisum sativum) between 1856 and 1863.

The technique used to study the internal structures of cells using electron beams is:
A. Light microscopy
B. Electron microscopy
C. Chromatography
D. Spectrophotometry

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Electron microscopes use beams of electrons to achieve much higher resolution than light microscopes, enabling visualization of organelles and macromolecular complexes. Types include TEM (internal) and SEM (surface). Light microscopes use visible light, spectrophotometry measures absorbance, chromatography separates.
