2.
DNA replication occurs once prior to mitosis and twice prior to meiosis.
3.
Both mitosis and meiosis result in daughter cells identical to the parent cells.
4.
Karyokinesis occurs once in mitosis and twice in meiosis.
1. Bivalent
2. Tetrad
3. Mitotic apparatus
4. Sister chromosomes
Which of the following is not a feature of diakinesis stage of prophase I of meiosis I?
| 1. | Terminalization of chiasmata |
| 2. | Meiotic spindle assembling to prepare separation of homologues |
| 3. | Decondensation of the chromatin |
| 4. | NEBD and disappearance of nucleolus |
Crossing over or recombination can be defined as:
| 1. | exchange of segments between sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes |
| 2. | exchange of segments between non sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes |
| 3. | exchange of segments between sister chromatids of heterologous chromosomes |
| 4. | exchange of segments between non sister chromatids of heterologous chromosomes |
Which stage of meiosis is shown in the diagram given below?
| 1. | Metaphase I | 2. | Metaphase II |
| 3. | Anaphase I | 4. | Anaphase II |
Organisms prefer sexual mode of reproduction in adverse conditions because:
| 1. | It leads to a rapid proliferation of numbers |
| 2. | It requires two individuals that can support the progeny |
| 3. | It is less energy consuming than the asexual mode of reproduction |
| 4. | It provides protection and increases variations that may help progeny to survive |
Consider the following key events:
| I: | Chromosomes cluster at opposite spindle poles and their identity is lost as discrete elements. |
| II: | Nucleolus, Golgi complex and ER reform. |
The stage of mitosis characterized by these key events is:
| 1. | Prophase | 2. | Metaphase |
| 3. | Anaphase | 4. | Telophase |
Identify the correct statement regarding meiosis amongst the following:
| I: | Meiosis involves two sequential cycles of nuclear and cell divisions but only a single cycle of DNA replication. |
| II: | Meiosis II is initiated after the parental chromosomes have replicated to produce identical sister chromatids at the S phase. |
| III: | Meiosis involves pairing of bivalents and recombinations between them. |
| 1. | I only | 2. | I and II only |
| 3. | I and III only | 4. | I, II and III |
Consider the following two statements:
| I: | Plant cells undergo cytokinesis in a different manner than the animal cells. |
| II: | Plant cells are enclosed by a relatively inextensible cell wall. |
Of the two statements:
| 1. | Both I and II are correct and II explains I |
| 2. | Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I |
| 3. | I is correct but II is incorrect |
| 4. | I is incorrect but II is correct |
Cells at the end of prophase of mitosis, when viewed under the microscope, do not show:
| I: | Golgi complexes |
| II: | Endoplasmic reticulum |
| III: | Nucleolus |
| IV: | Nuclear envelope |
1. Only I and II are correct
2. Only III and IV are correct
3. Only II, III and IV are correct
4. I, II, III and IV are correct
