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

The phase of the cell cycle during which DNA replication takes place is:

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:

The two asters together with spindle fibers form the:
1. Centrosome
2. Mitotic apparatus
3. Kinetochore
4. Chiasmata

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?

Cells at the end of prophase, when viewed under the microscope, show:

The cell expected to go through the events of cell cycle in the least amount of time would be:

Identify the stage of mitosis shown in the given diagram:

1. Prophase 2. Metaphase 3. Anaphase 4. Telophase
