Best answer

Answer: 1. Mature sieve tube elements possess a conspicuous nucleus and usual cytoplasmic organelles.

Find the incorrect statement.

  • Statement 1 is wrong: mature sieve tube elements lack a nucleus and most organelles. They depend on companion cells.
  • Statements 2, 3 and 4 are correct: microbodies occur in plant and animal cells, the perinuclear space lies between the two nuclear membranes, and nuclear pores let proteins and RNA pass in both directions.
