The stage of mitosis shown in the given diagram is:
| 1. | Early Prophase | 2. | Late Prophase |
| 3. | Anaphase | 4. | Telophase |
Humans have a haploid chromosome number n = 23. How many tetrads will be formed during meiosis?
| 1. | 23 | 2. | 46 |
| 3. | 69 | 4. | 92 |
The human meiocyte shows 92 chromatids at the end of S phase. The number of centromeres in this cell will be:
| 1. | 23 | 2. | 46 |
| 3. | 69 | 4. | 92 |
What is the number of phases in the cell cycle of a typical eukaryotic cell?
| 1. | 4 | 2. | 5 |
| 3. | 3 | 4. | 2 |

Recombination between homologous chromosomes is completed by the end of:
| 1. | Zygotene | 2. | Diplotene |
| 3. | Pachytene | 4. | Diakinesis |
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 |
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 |
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 |
