Karyokinesis involves four stages that are chronologically [beginning at the earliest] arranged as:
1. Prophase → Metaphase → Anaphase → Telophase
2. Telophase → Metaphase → Anaphase → Prophase
3. Prophase → Metaphase → Anaphase → Telophase
4. Telophase → Anaphase → Metaphase → Prophase

In contrast to meiosis I, meiosis II:
1. is much lengthy in duration.
2. leads to reduction in the number of chromosomes.
3. is characterised by replication of DNA just before its beginning.
4. resembles a normal mitosis.

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): Meiosis is the mechanism by which conservation of specific chromosome number of each species is achieved across generations in sexually reproducing organisms.
Reason (R): Cells in G0 stage no longer remain metabolically active and no longer proliferate unless called on to do so depending on the requirement of the organism.   
  
1. (A) is True; (R) is False
2. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A)
3. Both (A) and (R) ​​​​​​​ are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A)
4. (A) is False; (R) ​​​​​​​is True

Consider the two given statements:
Statement I: At the time of cytoplasmic division, organelles like mitochondria and plastids get distributed between the two daughter cells.
Statement II: In some organisms karyokinesis is not followed by cytokinesis as a result of which multinucleate condition arises leading to the formation of syncytium (e.g., liquid endosperm in coconut).

How many of the given statements will correctly apply to the significance of mitosis?
I: Mitosis usually results in the production of diploid daughter cells with identical genetic complement.
II: The growth of multicellular organisms is due to mitosis.
III: It restores the nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio of a cell.
IV: A very significant contribution of mitosis is cell repair.
V: It replaces lost cells.
VI: Mitotic divisions in the meristematic tissues – the apical and the lateral cambium, result in a continuous growth of plants throughout their life.
VII: It creates genetic variation for acting as raw material for natural selection.
