Complete the above statement by choosing the correct
option for A and B
         A               B
1. Diplotene    Diakinesis
2. Leptotene   Zygotene

Which one of the following features differentiates G₂
phase from G₁ phase?

When a cell is viewed under the microscope, it does
not show golgi complex, endoplasmic reticulum,
nucleolus, nuclear envelope in which stage of cell
division?

1. Early prophase 

2. Late prophase

3. Interphase

These given statements are related with specific phase
of meiosis, select the unrelated statement with the
phase given below.
               Statement                              Phase
1. The homologous chromosome      –    Anaphase I
separate, while sister
chromatids remain associated
at their centromere
2. The bivalent chromosomes align   –   Metaphase I
on the equatorial plate
3. Cytokinesis follows resulting in      –  Telophase I
the formation of tetrad of cells
4. Terminalisation of chiasmata         –  Final stage
of prophase

During what phase in the cell cycle would you find the most DNA per cell?
1. G₁
2. G₂
3. S
4. Prophase II

Major event that occurs during anaphase of mitosis which brings about equal distribution of chromosomes is:

1. Condensation of chromatin

2. Replication of genetic material

3. Splitting of centromere

4. Pairing of homologous chromosomes

Match the Column I with Column II –

1. A – 2, B – 4,5, C – 7, D – 1,6, E – 3
2. A – 2, B – 3, C – 7, D – 1, 4, 6, E – 5
3. A – 2, B – 7, C – 3, D – 1, 4, 5, E – 6
4. A – 2, B – 1, C – 4, D – 5, 3, E – 6

Crossing over occurs just prior to
1. Pachytene
2. Diplotene
3. Diakinesis
4. Zygotene

phase?

1. G₁
2. G₂
3. S
