In which group of organisms the cell walls form two thin lapping shells which fit together?

Options:
A Euglenoids
B Dinoflagellates
C Slime moulds
D Chrysophytes

The correct answer is:
Chrysophytes

Solution:
CHRYSOPHYTES: Chrysophytes include diatoms and golden algae (desmids). These are found both in fresh and marine water. They are microscopic and float passively (without using energy) in water currents. Most of Chrysophytes are photosynthetic. Silica is deposited in the cell wall of diatoms. The cell walls form two thin overlapping shells, which fit together as in a soapbox. During asexual reproduction, each daughter cell retains one half of the old wall and synthesizes a new half. Diatoms are normally diploid and reproduce sexually by producing gametes. Silica shells of dead diatoms are nearly indestructible and thus, get accumulated at their habitat. Such huge rock-like deposits of hard shells of diatoms constitute diatomaceous earth. Being gritty, the soil of diatomaceous earth. Being gritty, the soil of diatomaceous earth is used in polishing, filtration of oils and syrups. Diatoms are the chief 'producers' in the ocean.

In which mode of inheritance do you expect more maternal influence among the offspring?

Options:
A X-linked
B autosomal
C cytoplasmic
D Y-linked

The correct answer is:
cytoplasmic

Solution:
During fertilisation, mother contribute its nucleus as well as the cytoplasm. However, father sperm consist only nucleus. Thus, the cytoplasmic inheritance is also called maternal inheritance. Genes located on Y-chromosome show Y-linked inheritance. This carries the paternal influences. A gene located in the X-chromosome shows $\mathrm{X}$-linked inheritance. In this, a male transmits his X-chromosome only to his daughters while a female transmits one of her X-chromosomes to the offspring of both sexes. Autosomes are contributed by both of the parents.
Related Theory
The female reproductive cell or the egg has a large amount of cytoplasm containing many organelles such as chloroplasts and mitochondria which contain their own genes and can reproduce independently. Because these organelles are contributed by the female, cytoplasmic inheritance occurs in the maternal line.
