At which stage of meiosis does the genetic constitution of gametes is finally decided:
1.
Metaphase I
2.
Anaphase II
3.
Metaphase II
4.
Anaphase I
Select the correct statement about G1 phase:
(1) Cell is metabolically inactive
(2) DNA in the cell does not replicate
(3) It is not a phase of synthesis of macromolecules
(4) Cell stops growing
| A. | Most dramatic period of cell cycle involving a major reorganization of virtually all components of the cell |
| B. | It represents the phase when the actual cell division occurs |
These statements (A & B) are concerned with
1. S-phase
2. G1 phase
3. M-phase
4. G2 phase
Select the correct statement
| 1. | Chromosomes decondense and lose their individuality during anaphase |
| 2. | Spindle fibres attach to kinetochores of chromosomes during early prophase |
| 3. | Centriole begins to move towards opposite poles of the cell during metaphase |
| 4. | DNA is replicated during S-phase of cell cycle |
Interkinesis stage of cell cycle
| 1. | Is generally short lived |
| 2. | Shows DNA duplication |
| 3. | Is generally long lived |
| 4. | Is followed by prophase-I |
Select the incorrect statement
| 1. | Yeast can progress through the cell cycle in about 90 minutes |
| 2. | DNA synthesis is a continuous process in cell cycle |
| 3. | Duration of I-phase in the cell cycle is more than 95% |
| 4. | Events of cell cycle are under genetic control |
Cells that do not divide further exit G1 phase to enter an inactive stage called
| 1. | G2 phase |
| 2. | G0 stage |
| 3. | S-phase |
| 4. | M-phase |
Select the odd one out with respect to mitosis
| 1. | It helps the organisms in both sexual and asexual reproduction |
| 2. | It is called equational division |
| 3. | It takes place only in diploid cells of plants |
| 4. | It helps in cell repair |
Select the mis-matched pair
(1) Leptotene – Compaction of chromosomes continued
(2) Zygotene – Appearance of recombination nodules
(3) Diplotene – beginning of dissolution of synaptonemal complex
(4) Diakinesis – Completgeterminalisation of chiasmata
Microtubules from opposite poles of the spindle attach to the pairs of homologous chromosomes during
(1) Pachytene
(2) Metaphase – I
(3) Metaphase – II
(4) Early prophase
