Which of the following statements about prokaryotic cells is INCORRECT? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Explanation:
Mendel’s first law (segregation) states that the two alleles for a trait separate during gamete formation. Homozygous individuals have identical alleles; phenotype is observable trait; a monohybrid ratio is 3:1.

Explanation:
Sericulture involves the cultivation of mulberry plants (Morus alba) and rearing of the silkworm Bombyx mori to produce raw silk. Apiculture is beekeeping, pisciculture is fish farming, vermiculture is earthworm rearing for compost. India is the second-largest producer of silk after China, producing mulberry, tasar, eri, and muga silk.

Explanation:
Mitochondria and chloroplasts contain circular DNA and 70S ribosomes, enabling them to transcribe and translate some proteins independently, though they rely on nuclear genes for most proteins. This partial autonomy supports the endosymbiotic origin hypothesis. The presence of their own genetic material and protein synthesis machinery qualifies them as semi-autonomous. Thus, both assertion and reason are correct, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
