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?
