Q. No.Mitosis is also called ‘equational division’ because:
| 1. | the number of chromosomes in both daughter cells are the same |
| 2. | the sum of the number of chromosomes in two daughter cells is equal to the number of chromosomes in the parent cell |
| 3. | each progeny cell receives only one set of chromosomes from the parent cell |
| 4. | the number of chromosomes in the parent and the progeny cells is the same |

At the metaphase plate:
| 1. | The sister chromatids of a chromosome are connected by their kinetochores to the spindle fibers from the same pole |
| 2. | The non sister chromatids of a chromosome are connected by their kinetochores to the spindle fibers from the same pole |
| 3. | The sister chromatids of a chromosome are connected by their kinetochores to the spindle fibers from the opposite poles |
| 4. | The non sister chromatids of a chromosome are connected by their kinetochores to the spindle fibers from the opposite poles |

2. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
3. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
4. Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
| Statement I: | In animal cells, cytokinesis is achieved by the appearance of a furrow in the plasma membrane. |

1. Statement I and Statement II are correct
2. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
3. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
