A

these are much longer in size

B

these are easy to stain

C

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Balbiani (1881) was the first person who observed salivary gland chromosomes in the salivary glands of Chironomus larvae. These chromosomes are very useful in gene mapping because they have endoreduplicated chromosomes. These chromosomes are formed due to the process of endoduplication or endopolyploidy or endomitosis. In this process the nuclear membrene does not rupture but chromosomes become double and they do not separate from each other.
