Identify the correct statement amongst the following:
1. | Crossing over occurs in prophase I of meiosis and metaphase of mitosis. |
2. | DNA replication occurs once prior to mitosis and twice prior to meiosis. |
3. | Both mitosis and meiosis result in daughter cells identical to the parent cells. |
4. | Karyokinesis occurs once in mitosis and twice in meiosis. |
Consider the following key events:
I: | Chromosomes cluster at opposite spindle poles and their identity is lost as discrete elements. |
II: | Nucleolus, Golgi complex and ER reform. |
The stage of mitosis characterized by these key events is:
1. | Prophase | 2. | Metaphase |
3. | Anaphase | 4. | Telophase |
In meiosis:
1. | A single round of DNA replication is followed by two sequential divisions with chromosome number and DNA content getting reduced twice |
2. | A single round of DNA replication is followed by two sequential divisions with chromosome number getting reduced twice and DNA content getting reduced once |
3. | A single round of DNA replication is followed by two sequential divisions with chromosome number getting reduced once and DNA content getting reduced twice |
4. | A single round of DNA replication is followed by two sequential divisions with chromosome number and DNA content getting reduced once |
Meiosis results in the formation of:
1. | Two genetically identical diploid cells |
2. | Two genetically non identical diploid cells |
3. | Four genetically identical haploid cells |
4. | Four genetically non identical haploid cells |
Synapsis occurs between
1. mRNA and ribosomes
2. Spindle fibers and centromere
3. Two homologous chromosomes
4. A male and a female gamete
The enzyme recombinase is required at which stage of meiosis ?
1. | Pachytene | 2. | Zygotene |
