| 3. | Statement I is correct and Statement II is correct. |
| 4. | Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct. |
| Statement I: | At Metaphase I the chromosomes align at the equator and the microtubules from opposite poles of the spindle get attached to the kinetochores of sister chromatids. |
| Statement II: | At metaphase II the bivalent chromosomes align on the equatorial plate and microtubules from the opposite poles of the spindle attach to the kinetochore of homologous chromosomes. |

Which of the following does not take place during telophase of mitosis?
| 1. | Chromosomes become discrete. |
| 2. | Nuclear envelope reforms. |
| 3. | Chromosomes cluster at opposite spindle poles. |
| 4. | Nucleolus, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi complex reform. |
| A: | DNA replication begins in the nucleus |
| B: | centriole duplicates in the cytoplasm |
| 1 | A – Interphase | B – Prophase |
| 2 | A – S – phase | B – Telophase |
| 3 | A – Synthetic phase | B – Gap 2 phase |
| 4 | A – Interphase | B – Anaphase |
| I: | terminalisation of chiasmata |
| II: | decondensation of chromosomes |
| III: | assembly of the meiotic spindle |

| Assertion (A): | Metaphase is the stage at which morphology of chromosomes is most easily studied. |
| Reason (R): | At this stage, metaphase chromosome is made up of two sister chromatids, which are held together by the centromere. |
| 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 |
