The cell shown in the given diagram is in:
 |
|
Identify the incorrect statement:
| 1. | The nuclear membrane and nucleolus reappear during Telophase I |
| 2. | The nuclear membrane disappears by the end of Prophase II |
| 3. | DNA replicates during interkinesis between meiosis I and meiosis II |
| 4. | Chromosomes do not reach the extremely extended state of interphase nucleus |
All the following are significances of mitosis except:
1. Restoration of nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio
2. Growth of living organisms
3. Replacement of lost cells
4. Generation of genetic variation
The key features of meiosis include all the following except:
| 1. | Pairing of heterologous chromosomes |
| 2. | Crossing over between non sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes |
| 3. | Four haploid cells produced at the end of the second division |
| 4. | Initiated after DNA replication in S phase |
The correct chronology of stages of Prophase I is:
1. Leptotene – Zygotene – Pachytene – Diplotene – Diakinesis
2. Leptotene – Pachytene – Zygotene – Diplotene – Diakinesis
3. Leptotene – Zygotene – Pachytene – Diakinesis – Diplotene
4. Zygotene – Leptotene – Pachytene – Diakinesis – Diplotene
Consider the given two statements:
| I: | Meiosis conserves a specific number of chromosomes across generations in sexually reproducing organisms |
| II: | Meiosis results in a reduction of chromosome number by half |
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
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. |
