Who interpreted by observing the independent segregation of chromosomes during meiosis, that the factors they carry would also separate independently? Correct Answer Sutton and Boveri

Sutton and Boveri had studied the segregation of chromosomes very closely by staining the cells and then developing a differential staining approach to visualize the pairs of chromosomes. To their surprise, this was very similar to the expectation of Mendel’s factors. Hence they made the conclusion that independent separation of chromosomes should lead to independent segregation of factors.

In the question below, are given a statement followed by three courses of actions numbered I, II and III. On the basis of the information given, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true, and then decide which of the suggested courses of action logically follow(s) for pursuing. Statement: Soon you would not need to carry original copies of all vehicle papers like driving licence, vehicle registration certificate, insurance, pollution certificate or the permits issued to commercial vehicles with you. According to a ToI report, the Centre plans to amend Motor Vehicles Rules to make it legal for any citizen to carry digital vehicle documents and simultaneously making it compulsory for traffic police to accept digital version of documents. This means that you would not have to carry physical papers in your vehicle as digital copies of the certificates would be valid.  Courses of action: I. The ministry has proposed installation of FASTags on the front windscreens. FASTag is a device that uses radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for making toll payments directly from the user account.  II. To avail the facility, one has to store all the vehicle documents on the government's cloud-based service DigiLocker and when asked he/she can simply display the stored certificates on a smartphone or any other digital devices. These digital copies can be shared with other departments as identity and address proof.  III. The government has increased the maximum load carrying capacity of heavy vehicles, including trucks, by 20-25 per cent besides scrapping the mandatory annual renewal of fitness certificates for freight carriers. Fitness certificates for trucks would now be renewed in every two years not annually.  Which of the following course/courses of action can be said to be said to be a rudimentary course/courses of action?
