1. | Condensation, nuclear membrane disassembly, arrangement at the equator, centromere division, segregation, telophase |
2. | Condensation, crossing over, nuclear membrane disassembly, segregation, telophase |
3. | Condensation, centromere division, segregation, arrangement at the equator, telophase |
4. | Condensation, nuclear membrane disassembly, crossing over, segregation, telophase |
Column I | Column II | ||
(a) | pachytene | (1) | pairing of homologous chromosomes |
(b) | metaphase I | (2) | terminalisation of chiasmata |
(c) | diakinesis | (3) | crossing-over takes place |
(d) | zygotene | (4) | chromosomes align at equatorial plate |
1. | Disappearance of nucleolus | 2. | Chromosome movement |
3. | Synapsis | 4. | Spindle fibres |
1. | kinetochore of the chromosome |
2. | centromere of the chromosome |
3. | kinetosome of the chromosome |
4. | telomere of the chromosome |
Arrange the following events of meiosis in a correct sequence:
I. Crossing over
II. Synapsis
III. Terminalisation of chiasmata
IV. Disappearance of nucleolus
1. | II, I, IV, III | 2. | II, I, III, IV |
3. | I, II, III, IV | 4. | II, III, IV, I |
Match the following column I with column II.
Column I | Column II | ||
A. | Synapsis aligns homologous chromosomes | (i) | Anaphase II |
B. | Synthesis of RNA and protein | (ii) | Zygotene |
C. | Action of enzyme recombinase | (iii) | G2 - phase |
D. | Centromeres do not separate, but chromatids move towards opposite poles | (iv) | Anaphase I |
(v) | Pachytene |
1. A-(ii), B-(i), C-(iii), D-(iv)
2. A-(ii), B-(iii), C-(v), D-(iv)
3. A-(i), B-(ii), C-(v), D-(iv)
4. A-(ii), B-(iii), C-(iv), D-(v)
During which phase(s) of the cell cycle, amount of DNA in a cell remains at 4 C level if the initial amount is denoted as 2C:
1. G0 and G1
2. G1 and S
3. Only G2
4. G2 and M
A stage in cell division is shown in the figure. Select the answer which gives the correct identification of the stage with its characteristics:
1. |
Late anaphase |
Chromosomes move away from the equatorial plate, Golgi complex not present |
2. |
Cytokinesis |
Cell plate formed, mitochondria distributed between two daughter cells |
3. |
Telophase |
Endoplasmic reticulum and nucleolus not reformed yet |
4. |
Telophase |
Nuclear envelop reforms, Golgi complex reforms |
In the 'S' phase of the cell cycle:
1. amount of DNA doubles in each cell.
2. amount of DNA remains the same in each cell
3. chromosome number is increased
4. amount of DNA is reduced to half in each cell.
