Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
In all types of higher organisms (eukaryotes), the well organized nucleus contains definite number of chromosomes of definite size and shape.
In prokaryotes hereditary material is associated with proteins.
It forms a single complex and is, therefore, considered to be equivalent to a single chromosome but simpler than it and hence prochromosome.
