Answer 1

The correct option is (c) Nucleoplasm condenses and group together to form chromosomes

Easiest explanation: In plant cells, nucleus lies towards the periphery due to the large nucleus that occupies almost the entire region of the cell. Nucleus helps in reproduction and acts as the control centre of the cell. Chromatin condenses and group together to form chromosomes. Nucleus comprises of nuclear membrane, nuclear pores, nucleolus, nucleoplasm and chromatin.
