Answer:

Hi,

Structures which have similar function, but are different in structure and developmental origin are called analogous structures.

Out of the given choices, potato-onion and ginger-onion are analogous because they are modified stems and perform the function of food storage.

Radish-ginger are also analogous because although radish is a root and ginger is a modified stem but perform the same function of food storage.

Ginger-turmeric are homologous structures.

Students in a biology laboratory were asked to view certain cells microscopically and
measure the size of a single cell. They were given a compound microscope with an
eyepiece of 15X magnification and an objective lens of 10X magnification. The eyepiece
has a scale with a least count of 10 µm. When the students focused the cells under the
given microscope, they found that one cell measured 60 divisions on the eyepiece scale.
What is the approximate size of that cell?
 
(A) 0.47 µm (B) 2.8 µm (C) 4.0 µm (D) 24 µm
