Answer 1

I think statement b is correct but statement a is incorrect

Answer 2

Hi!

According to me, the first option is correct.

SINCE isolated chloroplasts incorporate radioactive amino-acids into their proteins 1–3, it is widely assumed that chloroplasts can synthesize their own protein moieties. There is, however, little evidence available to show whether chloroplasts do, in fact, play an active part in the synthesis of proteins in the living leaf cell4.

(1) Both statements are correct
