The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the bead-like structures found on chromosomes. We need to identify the correct term that describes these structures. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1: Chromomeres**: This term refers to the bead-like structures found on eukaryotic chromosomes. They are essentially the serially aligned granules or beads that can be observed during certain stages of cell division. - **Option 2: Chromonimata**: This term is incorrect as it refers to a coiled filament where genes are located, not bead-like structures. - **Option 3: Chromonema**: This option is also incorrect. Chromonema refers to the spiral coil of the chromatid, which is not bead-like. - **Option 4: Centrio**: This term is incorrect as centrioles are involved in cell division but do not refer to bead-like structures on chromosomes. 3. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Chromomeres** (Option 1). These structures are indeed the bead-like formations found on chromosomes. 4. **Conclusion**: The bead-like structures found on chromosomes are called **Chromomeres**. ---
