Four healthy people in their 20s got involved in injuries resulting in damage and death of a few cells. Which of the following cells are least likely to be replaced by new cells ?
1. Osteocytes
2. Liver cells
3. Neurons
4. Malpighian layer of the skin
Given below is a schematic break-up of the phases/stages of cell cycle. Which one of the following is the correct indication of the stage/phase in the cell cycle?
|
Synapsis occurs between
1. mRNA and ribosomes
2. Spindle fibers and centromere
3. Two homologous chromosomes
4. A male and a female gamete
During mitosis, endoplasmic reticulum and nucleolus begin to disappear at:
1. | Late metaphase | 2. | Early prophase |
3. | Late prophase | 4. | Early metaphase |
Which stages of cell division do the following figures A and B represent respectively?
1. Metaphase - Telophase
2. Telophase - Metaphase
3. Late anaphase – Prophase
4. Prophase – Anaphase
Identify the meiotic stage in which the homologous chromomes separate while the sister chromatids remain associated at their centromeres:
1. | Anaphase I | 2. | Anaphase II |
3. | Metaphase I | 4. | Metaphase II |
The complex formed by a pair of synapsed homologous chromosomes is called
1. | Equatorial plate | 2. | Kinetochore |
3. | Bivalent | 4. | Axoneme |
A stage in cell division is shown in the figure. Select the answer which gives the correct identification of the stage with its characteristics.
Stages | Description | |
1. | Telophase | Nuclear envelop reforms, Golgi complex reforms |
2. | Late anaphase | Chromosomes move away from equatorial plate, Golgi complex not present |
3. | Cytokinesis | Cell plate formed, mitochondria distributed between two daughter cells |
4. | Telophase | Endoplasmic reticulum and nucleolus not reformed yet |
The enzyme recombinase is required at which stage of meiosis ?
1. | Pachytene | 2. | Zygotene |
3. | Diplotene | 4. | Diakinesis |
During which phase(s) of cell cycle, amount of DNA in a cell remains at 4C level if the initial amount is denoted as 2C ?
1. G0 and G1
2. G1 and S
3. Only G2
4. G2 and M
