The phase of the cell cycle during which DNA replication takes place is:
1. | G1 phase | 2. | S phase |
3. | G2 phase | 4. | M phase |
The correct chronology of stages of karyokinesis in mitosis is:
1. | Prophase – Anaphase – Metaphase – Telophase |
2. | Prophase – Metaphase – Anaphase – Telophase |
3. | Prophase – Metaphase – Telophase – Anaphase |
4. | Telophase – Anaphase – Metaphase – Prophase |
The centrosome duplicates during:
1. | Early Prophase | 2. | Late Prophase |
3. | S phase | 4. | G2 phase |
Prophase of mitosis is not characterized by:
1. | condensation of chromatin |
2. | migration of centrosomes to opposite poles |
3. | formation of mitotic apparatus |
4. | pairing of homologous chromosomes |
Onion root tip has 16 chromosomes in each cell. How many chromosomes will the cell respectively have at G1 phase, after S phase and after M phase?
1. | 16, 32, 16 | 2. | 16, 32, 8 |
3. | 16, 16, 8 | 4. | 16, 16, 16 |
The cell expected to go through the events of cell cycle in the least amount of time would be:
1. Epithelial cell in humans | 2. Neuron in humans |
3. Yeast cell | 4. Escherichia coli |
Identify the stage of mitosis shown in the given diagram:

The start of the second phase of mitosis, metaphase, is marked by:
1. | complete disintegration of the nuclear envelope |
2. | alignment of chromosomes at the equatorial plate |
3. | de-condensation of chromatin |
4. | reappearance of the nucleolus |
Consider the given two statements:
I: | Morphology of chromosomes is best studied at metaphase |
II: | At this stage, a chromosome is made up of two sister chromatids, held together at the centromere |
1. Both I and II are True and II explains I
2. Both I and II are True but II does not explain I
3. I is True but II is False
4. I is False but II is True
