Polytene chromosomes are large chromosomes which have thousands of DNA strands. They provide a high level of function in certain tissues such as salivary glands of Drosophila.

Chromoplast and chloroplast are types of plastics containing pigments while leucoplasts do not contain pigments. That is why leucoplasts are colourless. Also, many pigments (e.g., anthocyanins) are localized in the vacuoles of epidermal cells from flowers, leaves, and stems.

• A vacuole is a membrane-bound 9tonoplast) organelle present in cells.
  
• It forms an enclosed compartment within the cell which are filled with water, dissolved inorganic and organic molecules (enzymes)
• It stores food and variety of nutrients required by the cell to survive and also store waste products which protect the cell from getting contaminated.
• So, the correct answer is 'Water and dissolved substances'.

Vacuolar membrane is a membrane surrounding the vacuole. It is also called as tonoplast. Like, cell membrane, it is semipermeable in nature. Therefore, option B is correct. 

Beet root is coloured because of the presence of anthocyanin in vacuoles .Anthocyanin is the water soluble vacuolar pigments ,they contain red colour in roots of the caryophyllales [including cactus, beet and amaranth ]these roots are contain red in colour.But otherwise anthocyanin in chloroplast and chromoplast have roots green in colour.Carotenoid of chloroplast contain orange colour pigments and they are found in carrots
So the correct option is B

A large central vacuole of a plant cell that stores water with inorganic and organic substance like sugar, salts and some pigments are the non-living fluid. It provides turgidity and osmolarity to the cell.

The chromosomes were named according to the position of the centromeres. This is expressed in the ratio “long arm to short arm”. Here the following terms are used: metacentric (arm ratio 1.0–1.7), submetacentric (ratio 1.7–3.0), subtelocentric (ratio 3.0–7.0), acrocentric (ratio more than 7.0), and telocentric (chromosome with only one arm).
