Which of the following statements about eukaryotic cells is/are not true ?
(i) They can be both unicellular and multicellular.
(ii) They have a well organized nucleus.
(iii) Blue-green algae are eukaryotic cells.
(iv) They do not have nuclear membrane.
Answer: C
The statements that are not true are (iii) and (iv).
Blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) are prokaryotes: their cells have no membrane-bound nucleus, so (iii) is false. Eukaryotic cells are defined by a nucleus enclosed in a nuclear membrane, so (iv), which says they lack one, is also false.
Statements (i) and (ii) are true: eukaryotes include unicellular organisms such as Amoeba and yeast as well as multicellular plants and animals, and they have a well-organised nucleus. So options containing (i) or (ii), and 'Only (iv)', are wrong.
