I: | Gametes contain half the number of chromosomes found in somatic cells. |
II: | Somatic cells have the diploid number of chromosomes. |
III: | The haploid number of chromosomes in humans is 23. |
IV: | The diploid number of chromosomes in humans is 23 pairs. |
The Mitotic phase of a typical eukaryotic cell is divided into:
1. | Two stages | 2. | Three stages |
3. | Four stages | 4. | Five stages |
1. | Skin epithelial cell | 2. | Neuron |
3. | Fibroblast | 4. | Phagocytes |
1. | The interphase lasts more than 95% of the duration of the cell cycle. |
2. | M phase starts with the nuclear division. |
3. | Interphase is the resting stage in the cell cycle where the cell is metabolically inactive. |
4. | Neurons in human body are permanently in G0 phase of the cell cycle. |
1. | interkinesis and there is no replication of DNA during this stage. |
2. | interkinesis and there is replication of DNA during this stage. |
3. | interphase II and there is no replication of DNA during this stage. |
4. | interphase II and there is replication of DNA during this stage. |
Assertion (A): | Meiosis is the mechanism by which conservation of specific chromosome number of each species is achieved across generations in sexually reproducing organisms. |
Reason (R): | Cells in G0 stage no longer remain metabolically active and no longer proliferate unless called on to do so depending on the requirement of the organism. |
1. | (A) is True; (R) is False |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A) |
4. | (A) is False; (R) is True |
Statement I: | With few exceptions, in animals, mitotic cell division is generally only seen in the diploid somatic cells. |
Statement II: | The plants can show mitotic divisions in both haploid and diploid cells. |
1. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect |
2. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect |
3. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct |
4. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct |
I: | organism to organism |
II: | from cell type to cell type in the same organism |
Assertion (A): | Plants continue to grow all their lives. |
Reason (R): | All cells in a plant divide all the time. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
I: | corresponds to the interval between initiation of mitosis and DNA replication. |
II: | is characterised by a metabolically active cell that grows continuously and replicates its DNA. |
