Question

Given the following statements, which one of the options is correct? 
Statement (i): Histology is the study of histones 
Statement (ii): Cytology is the study of tissues

• A. Both the statements are correct
• B. Both the statements are incorrect
• C. Statement (i) is correct; statement (ii) is incorrect
• D. Statement (i) is incorrect; statement (ii) is correct

Hint:

Remember: Histology deals with tissues, while cytology deals with cells. Histones are proteins related to DNA, not tissues.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Analyzing Statement (i) - Histology. 
Histology is the study of tissues, not histones. Histones are proteins associated with DNA in the nucleus and play a role in gene expression regulation and DNA packaging. 
Therefore, Statement (i) is incorrect. 
Step 2: Analyzing Statement (ii) - Cytology.
Cytology is the study of cells, not tissues. Tissues are studied in histology, while cytology focuses on the structure and function of cells. 
Therefore, Statement (ii) is also incorrect.
