The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Select the wrong statement," we need to evaluate each of the provided statements one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement Analysis**: - **Statement 1**: "The building blocks of lipids are amino acids." - This statement is incorrect. The building blocks of lipids are fatty acids and glycerol, not amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. - **Statement 2**: "Majority of enzymes contain a non-protein part called the prosthetic group." - This statement is correct. Many enzymes are composed of proteins and may also contain non-protein components called prosthetic groups, which are essential for their activity. - **Statement 3**: "The thylakoids are arranged one above the other like a stack of coins forming a granum." - This statement is also correct. Thylakoids are indeed arranged in stacks known as granum within chloroplasts. - **Statement 4**: "Crossing over occurs at the pachytene stage of meiosis 1." - This statement is correct. Crossing over, which is the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes, occurs during the pachytene stage of prophase I in meiosis. 2. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the wrong statement is **Statement 1**: "The building blocks of lipids are amino acids." ### Final Answer: The wrong statement is: **"The building blocks of lipids are amino acids."** ---
