Explanation / Answer

5. None of these (au)
N-CAMs (neural cell adhesion molecules) are the example of the calcium-independent intercellular junction. It belongs to an immunoglobulin superfamily that mediates the adhesion between cells. Nectins are the most recent discovered adhesion molecules that are involved in the calcium-independent intercellular junctions.

6. Nucleus (ac)
A nucleus is a membrane-enclosed structure found in eukaryotes which store the genetic material ie. DNA of the cell.

7. Microfilaments(s) and intermediate filaments(q)
Actin filaments are used for intercellular adhesion between cells. These belong to microfilaments. Desmosome forms links between cells (intercellular junctions) through intermediate filaments.
