Q. Read the given statements and select the correct option I. In Golgi complex, the cisternae have $cis$ face and $trans$ face II. The $cis$ face and $trans$ face of Golgi complex are called forming face and maturing face respectively
A) Statement I is correct and statement II is incorrect
B) Both statements are incorrect
C) Both are correct but statement II is the correct explanation of statement I
D) Both are correct, but statement II is not the correct explanation of statement I
Explanation
The saccules or cisternae are frequently curved to give a definite polarity to the Golgi apparatus. One face of the apparatus is convex while the other is concave. The convex side is called forming (cis face) face while the concave side of the apparatus is known as maturing face (trans face)
