Genes are a part of the chromosome and are found in pairs in somatic cells. One member of the gene pair segregates into a gamete, thus each gamete only carries one member of the gene pair. Gametes unite at random and irrespective of the other gene pairs involved.

Correct Option: C

Bacteriophage refers to any of a group of viruses that infect bacteria. Bacteriophages were discovered independently by Frederick W. Twort in Great Britain (1915) and Felix d’Herelle in France (1917). D’Herelle coined the term Bacteriophage, meaning “bacteria eater.”.

The transport of soluble organic substances (sometimes called assimilates) within a plant is known as translocation. Both the Symplast and the apoplast function in transport within tissues and organs of plants. Water passes into the stele through symplastic route; Water passes into the xylem through apoplastic route.

When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water rushes into the membrane, increasing the cell’s volume. Eventually, the cell’s membrane is enlarged such that it pushes against the cell’s rigid wall. At this point the cell is said to be turgid.

The uptake or absorption of water by the solid substance without forming a solution is called imbibition. The substances absorbing water are called imbibants which do not dissolve in water. It is the initial step in the germination of the seeds.
