The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Hyperchromism**: Hyperchromism refers to the presence of an excess amount of chromatin. Chromatin is the material that makes up chromosomes, consisting of DNA and proteins. 2. **Chromatin and Chromosomes**: Chromatin condenses to form chromosomes during cell division. Therefore, an increase in chromatin can lead to an increase in the number of chromosomes. 3. **Interpreting the Options**: The question provides several options regarding what hyperchromism indicates: - A) More than one same type of chromosome - B) Less than one same type of chromosome - C) Variable chromosome - D) Nucleus - E) None of the above 4. **Analyzing the Correct Answer**: Given that hyperchromism indicates an excess of chromatin, it suggests that there are more of the same type of chromosome present. Thus, the correct answer is option A: "more than one same type of chromosome." 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, hyperchromism is characterized by the presence of more than one of the same type of chromosome. **Final Answer**: Option A: More than one same type of chromosome. ---
