| Assertion (A): | Cell division is a very important process in all living organisms. |
| Reason (R): | During the division of a cell, DNA replication and cell growth also take place. |
| 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 |
| I: | The M Phase represents the phase when the actual cell division takes place. |
| II: | The interphase represents the phase between two successive M phases. |
| III: | Cell division proper lasts for only about 50% of the duration of the cell cycle. |
| IV: | The interphase lasts for about 50% of the duration of cell cycle. |
| 1. | Only I and II are correct |
| 2. | Only III and IV are correct |
| 3. | Only I and III are correct |
| 4. | Only II and IV are correct |
| Assertion (A): | The interphase of the cell cycle is also called the resting phase. |
| Reason (R): | No metabolic activity takes place inside the cell during the interphase. |
| 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 |
| 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. |
| 1. | Prophase → Metaphase → Anaphase → Telophase |
| 2. | Telophase → Metaphase → Anaphase → Prophase |
| 3. | Prophase → Metaphase → Anaphase → prophase I |
| 4. | Telophase → Anaphase → Metaphase → Prophase |
| 1. | the arms of each chromosome remain directed towards the pole and hence at the leading edge, with the centromere of the chromosome trailing behind. |
| 2. | the arms of each chromosome and the centromere remain directed towards the pole and hence at the leading edge. |
| 3. | the centromere of each chromosome remains directed towards the pole and hence at the leading edge, with the arms of the chromosome trailing behind. |
| 4. | the centromere and the arms of each chromosome do not move and remain at the metaphase plate. |
| 1. | Prophase | 2. | Metaphase |
| 3. | Anaphase | 4. | Telophase |
