Q. No.With respect to meiosis, when does DNA replication occur?
1.
Before meiosis I only
2.
After meiosis I only
3.
Before and after meiosis I
4.
After meiosis II
The phase of mitosis in which the spindle fibers break apart, two new nuclear membranes begin to form, and the chromosomes disperse into chromatin is
| 1. | metaphase | 2. | telophase |
| 3. | anaphase | 4. | prophase |
The most important significance of meiosis is that:
| 1. | It increases variations in the gene pool of the species that helps in evolution of that species. |
| 2. | It causes growth in the multicellular organisms. |
| 3. | It conserves specific number of chromosomes in each species across generations. |
| 4. | It is vital for repair and regeneration functions in the living organisms. |
Consider the following statements regarding meiosis:
| I: | At metaphase I, the microtubules from the opposite poles of the spindle attach to the pair of homologous chromosomes. |
| II: | At anaphase I, the homologous chromosomes separate, while sister chromatids remain associated with each other. |
Of the two statements:
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect
During meiosis, the bivalent chromosomes clearly appear as tetrads first at:
| 1. | Zygotene of Prophase I | 2. | Pachytene of Prophase I |
| 3. | Metaphase I | 4. | Anaphase I |
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 |
During diakinesis of prophase I:
I. Terminalisation of chiasmata takes place.
II. Meiotic spindle is assembled.
III. Nucleolus disappears and the nuclear membrane breaks down.
The correct statements are:
| 1. | I, II and III | 2. | I and II only |
| 3. | I and III only | 4. | II and III only |
Identify the correct statement regarding meiosis amongst the following:
| I: | Meiosis involves two sequential cycles of nuclear and cell divisions but only a single cycle of DNA replication. |
| II: | Meiosis II is initiated after the parental chromosomes have replicated to produce identical sister chromatids at the S phase. |
| III: | Meiosis involves pairing of bivalents and recombinations between them. |
| 1. | I only | 2. | I and II only |
| 3. | I and III only | 4. | I, II and III |
Consider the following two statements:
| I: | The growth of multi-cellular organisms is due to mitosis. |
| II: | Mitosis results in the production of diploid daughter cells with identical genetic complement usually. |
Of the two statements:
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is correct but II is incorrect
4. I is incorrect but II is correct
Consider the following two statements:
| I: | Plant cells undergo cytokinesis in a different manner than the animal cells. |
| II: | Plant cells are enclosed by a relatively inextensible cell wall. |
Of the two statements:
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is correct but II is incorrect
4. I is incorrect but II is correct
