Identify the stage of mitosis shown in the given diagram:

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

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

Plants show mitotic divisions:
1. only in germ line cells
2. at the root apex and shoot apex only
3. in both diploid and haploid cells
4. for the productions of gametes only

Consider the given two statements:

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

If a cell had 4[2 pairs] chromosomes at G₁ phase, what would be the number of chromosomes in this cell at the end of anaphase?

The phase of the cell cycle that lasts for the least time is the:

All the following key events take place during telophase of mitosis except:

1. Chromosomes cluster at the opposite spindle poles

2. Chromosomes become discrete

3. Nuclear envelope reforms

4. Nucleolus, ER and Golgi complex reform

In a plant cell during the S phase of the cell cycle:

1. Only I is correct

2. Only II is correct

3. Both I and II are correct

4. Both I and II are incorrect

Identify the incorrect statement regarding cytokinesis:

Liquid endosperm in coconut forms due to:

1. Failure of cytokinesis after karyokinesis

2. Failure of karyokinesis before cytokinesis

3. Disruption of spindle fibers at metaphase

4. Continued DNA replication during cytokinesis
