Which of the following statements is true regarding the theories proposed to explain the occurrence of mitosis?
The Kern plasm theory proposes that mitosis occurs due to surface-volume ratio.
The Surface-volume Ratio theory proposes that mitosis occurs due to a disturbance in Karyoplasmic Index.
Both the Kern plasm theory and Surface-volume Ratio theory propose that mitosis occurs due to a disturbance in Karyoplasmic Index.
None of the above statements are true.
The text clearly states that the Kern plasm theory proposes that mitosis occurs due to a disturbance in Karyoplasmic Index, while the Surface-volume Ratio theory proposes that mitosis occurs due to a surface-volume ratio that becomes insufficient to draw materials. Therefore, option 1 and 2 are both incorrect. Option 3 is incorrect because it presents a combination of both theories that is not mentioned in the text. Hence, option d is the correct answer.
Option 4 is the correct answer.
