(i) | It begins with the dissolution of the synaptonemal complex. |
(ii) | Homologous chromosomes tend to separate except at the sites of crossing over. |
(iii) | The recombination nodules become more prominent during diplotene. |

I: | In some lower plants and in some social insects, haploid cells also divide by mitosis. |
II: | Mitotic divisions in the meristematic tissues – the apical and the lateral cambium, result in a continuous growth of plants throughout their life. |
A: | DNA replication begins in the nucleus |
B: | centriole duplicates in the cytoplasm |
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. |
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. |
1. | Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect. |
2. | Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is incorrect. |
3. | Statement I is correct and Statement II is correct. |
4. | Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct. |
