Mitosis is also called ‘equational division’ because:

1. the number of chromosomes in both daughter cells are the same
2. the sum of the number of chromosomes in two daughter cells is equal to the number of chromosomes in the parent cell
3. each progeny cell receives only one set of chromosomes from the parent cell
4. the number of chromosomes in the parent and the progeny cells is the same

At the metaphase plate:

1. The sister chromatids of a chromosome are connected by their kinetochores to the spindle fibers from the same pole

2. The non sister chromatids of a chromosome are connected by their kinetochores to the spindle fibers from the same pole

3. The sister chromatids of a chromosome are connected by their kinetochores to the spindle fibers from the opposite poles

4. The non sister chromatids of a chromosome are connected by their kinetochores to the spindle fibers from the opposite poles

Consider the given two statements:
Statement I: In animal cells, cytokinesis is achieved by the appearance of a furrow in  the plasma membrane.
Statement II: During cytokinesis in plant cells, the formation of the new cell wall begins with the formation of a simple precursor called the cell plate that represents the middle lamella between the walls of the two adjacent cells.
1. Statement I and Statement II are correct
2. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
3. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
