| Statement I: | The interphase represents the phase between two successive M phases and DNA replication takes place in the interphase. |
| Statement II: | The stage between the two meiotic divisions is called interkinesis and there is no replication of DNA during interkinesis. |

In animal cells, during the S phase:
| I: | DNA replication begins in the cytoplasm |
| II: | The centriole duplicates in the nucleus |
| 1. | Only I is correct |
| 2. | Only II is correct |
| 3. | Both I and II are correct |
| 4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
Consider the two statements:
| Statement I: | Mitosis helps in restoration of nuclear cytoplasmic ratio for effective working of a cell. |
| Statement II: | Mitosis leads to formation of genetically diverse cells leading to generation of variations. |

| 3. | Statement II is incorrect; Statement I is correct |
| 4. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect |
| I: | Terminalisation of chiasmata takes place. |
| II: | Meiotic spindle is assembled. |
| III: | Nucleolus disappears and the nuclear membrane breaks down. |
