Match the stage of meiosis in column I to their characteristic features in column II and select the correct option using the codes given below 
  Column l                                                 Column ll
A. pachytene                                1. pairing of homologous chromosomes

B. Metaphase-l                             2. Terminalisation of chiasmata

C. Diakinesis                                3. Crossing-over takes place
  
D. Zygotene                                 4. Chromosomes align at equatorial plate 

The correct option:

      A      B        C        D 
(1)  3      4        2        1
(2)  1      4        2        3

A cell at telophase stage is observed by a student in a plant brought from the field. He tells his teacher that his cell is not like other cells at telophase stage. There is no formation of cell plate and thus the cell is containing more number of chromosomes as compared to other dividing cells. This would result in

(1) polyploidy

(2) somaclonal variation

(3) polyteny

(4) aneuploidy

A stage in cell division is shown in the figure. Select the answer which gives correct

identification of the stage with its characteristics.

                             

1. Telophase       - Nuclear envelope reforms, Golgi complex reforms

2. Late anaphase -  Chromosomes move away from equatorial plate, Golgi complex not

present

3. Cytokinesis    -  Cell plate formed, mitochondria distributed between two daughter cells

4. Telophase      -  Endoplasmic reticulum and nucleolus not reformed yet
