(4) Leptotene

Centrosomes are:

(2) Regions where microtubules polymerise

(3) Part of Cilia

(4) The central part of the same cell

Cellular structures which disappear during late prophase and reappear during telophase are:

(1) Mitochondria and spindle fibres   

(2) Plasma membrane

(3) Nuclear membrane and nucleolus 

(4) Plastid

Given:
1. Chromatid                                    2. Monad
3. Dyad                                            4. Daughter chromosome

Label the structure indicated by lines (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv):

(1) (i) - Chromatid, (ii) Centriole, (iii) Centromere, (iv) Chromosome

(2) (i) - Chromomosome, (ii) Centriole, (iii) Centromere, (iv) Chromatid

(3) (i) - Chromatid, (ii) Centromere, (iii) Centriole, (iv) Chromosome

The members of a homologous pair of chromosomes:

(1) Are identical in size and appearance

(2) Contain identical genetic information

(3) Separate to opposite poles of the cell during mitosis

(4) Are found only in haploid cells

One difference between mitosis and meiosis I is that:

(1) Homologous chromosome pairs synapse during mitosis

(2) Chromosome do not replicate in the interphase preceding meiosis

(3) Homologous chromosomes pairs synapse during meiosis but not mitosis

(4) Spindle composed of microtubules are not required during meiosis

Chromosome number is reduced during meiosis because the process consists of:

(1) Two cell divisions without any chromosome replication

(2) A single cell division without any chromosome replication

(3) Two cell divisions in which half of the chromosomes are destroyed

(4) Two cell divisions and only a single round of chromosome replication
