Which of the following statements is True?
(1) Cell plate represents the middle lamella between the walls of two adjacents cells
(2) At the time of cytokinesis, organelles like mitochondria and plastids get distributed between the daughter cells
(3) Cytokinesis in plant cell is centrifugal and takes place by cell-plate formation while animal cells by furrowing / cleavage and is centripetal
(4) All are correct

Crossing is an enzyme-mediated process. The enzyme is:

(1) DNA ligase      

(2) Recombinase  

(3) RNAase           

(4) DNAase

Match Column-I with Column-II:
Column-I                                                                               Column-II
I. Chromosomes are moved to spindle equator                        A. Pachytene
II. Centromere splits and chromatids apart                               B. Zygotene
III. Pairing between homologous chromosomes takes place    C. Anaphase
IV. Crossing between homologous chromosomes                    D. Metaphase

(1) I-A, II-B, III-C, IV-D                               

(2) I-B, II-C, III-D, IV-A

(3) I-D, II-C, III-B, IV-A

Which event is not associated with prophase I?

(a) Synizesis                   (b) Synapsis                   (c) Segregation     (d) Terminalization

A cell cycle includes:

1. Interphase + M-phase / divisional phase

2. Prophase + Metaphase + Anaphase + Telophase

3. G₁ + S + G₂ – phase

4. Karyokinesis + Cytokinesis

Interphase:
(1) Includes karyokinesis and cytokinesis
(2) Some time called resting phase, is the preparatory phase for division in which cell undergoes growth and DNA replication in an order
(3) Is the shortest phase in which biomolecules are synthesised very fast
(4) Includes 5% duration of the cell cycle

Which one is correct for G₀ stage?

1. All are correct                         
2. I, II and III are correct
3. I and II are correct                       
4. I and IV are correct

(2) 2, 2, 2, 2       

(3) 2, 1, 1, 1                  

(4) 2, 1, 2, 1

In prophase mitosis, which one of the following events occurs in animal cells but not in plant cells?

(1) Centrioles migrate to opposite sides of the nucleus

(2) Homologous chromosomes do not associate

(3) The nuclear envelope (membrane) breaks down

(4) Nucleoli disappear

Synaptonemal complex is more conspicious at:
