Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Singer and Nicolson

Answer 2

Fluid-Mosaic model is the most accepted model of a biomembrane proposed by Singer and Nicolson in 1972. According to this model, the membrane does not have a uniform disposition of lipids and proteins but is instead a mosaic of the two. Further, the membrane is not solid but is quasifluid.
