Centromeres split leading to the separation of sister chromatids and the pulling of the separated sister chromatids to the opposite poles is seen in:
I: | Mitotic anaphase |
II: | Anaphase I |
III: | Anaphase II |
1. | Only I |
2. | Only I and II |
3. | Only III |
4. | Only I and III |
The phase of mitosis in which the spindle fibers break apart, two new nuclear membranes begin to form, and the chromosomes disperse into chromatin is
1. | metaphase | 2. | telophase |
3. | anaphase | 4. | prophase |

Consider the given two statements:
I: | Meiosis is responsible for maintaining the chromosome number across generations in sexually reproducing organisms. |
II: | Meiosis results in reduction of chromosome number by half in the daughter cells. |
1. | Both I and II are correct and II explains I |
2. | Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I |
3. | I is correct but II is incorrect |
4. | I is incorrect but II is correct |
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:
1. | 2 | 2. | 8 |
3. | 16 | 4. | 64 |
Microtubules from opposite poles of the spindle get attached to the kinetochores of sister chromatids in:
1. | Metaphase I | 2. | Anaphase I |
3. | Metaphase II | 4. | Anaphase II |

1. | Metaphase I | Bivalent align on the equatorial plate |
2. | Anaphase I | Splitting of centromere |
3. | Prophase II | Nuclear membrane disappears by the end |
4. | Metaphase II | Microtubules from the opposite poles of the spindle get attached to the kinetochores of sister chromatids |
The human meiocyte shows 92 chromatids at the end of S phase. The number of centromeres in this cell will be:
