Column I | Column II | ||
A. | Synapsis aligns homologous chromosomes | (i) | Anaphase II |
B. | Synthesis of RNA and protein | (ii) | Zygotene |
C. | Action of enzyme recombinase | (iii) | G2 - phase |

(v) | Pachytene |
1. A-(ii), B-(i), C-(iii), D-(iv)
2. A-(ii), B-(iii), C-(v), D-(iv)
3. A-(i), B-(ii), C-(v), D-(iv)
4. A-(ii), B-(iii), C-(iv), D-(v)
A somatic cell that has just completed the S-phase of its cell cycle, as compared to a gamete of the same species has:
1. | twice the number of chromosomes and twice the amount of DNA |
2. | the same number of chromosomes but twice the amount of DNA |
3. | twice the number of chromosomes and four times the amount of DNA |
4. | four times the number of chromosomes and twice the amount of DNA |
During which phase(s) of the cell cycle, amount of DNA in a cell remains at 4 C level if the initial amount is denoted as 2C:
1. G0 and G1
2. G1 and S
3. Only G2
4. G2 and M
In the 'S' phase of the cell cycle:
1. amount of DNA doubles in each cell.
2. amount of DNA remains the same in each cell
3. chromosome number is increased
4. amount of DNA is reduced to half in each cell.
Given below is a schematic break-up of the phases/stages of cell cycle-
Which one of the following is the correct indication of the stage/phase in the cell cycle?
1. | B-Metaphase | 2. | C-Karyokinesis |
3. | D-Synthetic phase | 4. | A-Cytokinesis |
