Some dividing cells exit the cell cycle and enter the vegetative inactive stage. This is called the quiescent stage G₀. This process occurs at the end of:

Attachment of spindle fibers to kinetochores of chromosomes becomes evident in:

Match the following events that occur in their respective phases of cell cycle and select the correct option

Identify the correct statement with regard to $G_1$ phase (Gap 1) of interphase.
1. The reorganisation of all cell components takes place.
2. The cell is metabolically active, grows but does not replicate its DNA
3. Nuclear division takes place
4. DNA synthesis or replication takes place. 

Consider the given two statements:

I. The kinetochore is essential for the chromosome segregation that is classically associated with mitosis and meiosis.
II. The kinetochore assembles on the centromere and links the chromosome to microtubule polymers from the mitotic spindle during mitosis and meiosis.

1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is correct and II is incorrect
4. Both I and II are incorrect

In G₁ phase, a meiocyte has 2N chromosome content and 2C DNA content. The chromosome and DNA content in each cell at the end of first meiotic division would be:

In fruit flies, which have 4 chromosome pairs, the number of possible arrangements of chromosomes in resultant haploid cells at the end of meiosis II is:

Microtubules from opposite poles of the spindle get attached to the kinetochores of sister chromatids in:

Recombination between homologous chromosomes is completed by the end of:
