(2) Biocatalysts can be used to exit G₀ phase.

(3) Cell volume keeps on increasing during this phase.

(4) Cell metabolism occurs continuously in G₀ phase.

Beads on string like structures of A are seen in B, which further condense to form chromosomes in C stage of cell division.

            A                   B                   C

(1) Chromonema  Chromatin       Metaphase

(2) Chromatin      Chromatid       Metaphase

(3) Chromonema  Chromosome    Anaphase

(4) Chromonema  Chromatid       Anaphase.

Which is the longest phase of the cell cycle?

The mandatory combination responsible for assembly of microtubules are

(1) $N{a}^{+}$ and $C{a}^{2+}$

(2) $M{g}^{2+}$ and $C{a}^{2+}$

(3) $C{l}^{-}$ and $C{a}^{2+}$

The exchange of segments of non-sister chromatids between chromosomes of a homologous pair termed as

(1) transformation 

(2) translocation

(3) crossing over

(4) chromosomal aberration

Calcium dependent Kinases can control 
(1) cell cycle activities

(2) DNA replication 

(3) Cell surface receptors

(4) membrane structure

What is the correct sequence of the steps given here ? Also work out the process depicted in the steps.
(i) Homologous chromosomes move toward opposite poles of the cell; chromatids do not separate
(ii) Chromosomes gather together at the two poles of the cell and the nucleare membranes reform 
(iii) Homologous chromosomes pair and exchange segments 
(iv) Homologous chromosomes align on a central plate
(v) The haploid cells separate completely
(1) The correct sequence is $\mathrm{III}\to \mathrm{IV}\to \mathrm{I}\to \mathrm{II}\to \mathrm{V}$ and the process is meiosis-I

(2) The correct sequence is $\mathrm{II}\to \mathrm{I}\to \mathrm{V}\to \mathrm{IV}\to \mathrm{III}$ and the process is mitosis

(3) The correct sequence is $\mathrm{IV}\to \mathrm{I}\to \mathrm{III}\to \mathrm{II}\to \mathrm{V}$ and the process is meiosis-I

(4) the correct sequence is $\mathrm{II}\to \mathrm{V}\to \mathrm{IV}\to \mathrm{I}\to \mathrm{II}$ and the process is mitosis
