During which phase(s) of cell cycle, the amount of DNA in a cell remain at 4C level if the
initial amount is denoted as 2C?
1. G0 and G1
2. G1 and S
3. Only G2

The complex formed by a pair of synapsed homologous chromosomes is called
1. equatorial plate
2. Kinetochore
3. bivalent
4. axoneme
A stage in cell division is shown in the figure. Select the answer which gives correct
identification of the stage with its characteristics.
1. Telophase - Nuclear envelope reforms, Golgi complex reforms
2. Late anaphase - Chromosomes move away from equatorial plate, Golgi complex not
present
3. Cytokinesis - Cell plate formed, mitochondria distributed between two daughter cells
4. Telophase - Endoplasmic reticulum and nucleolus not reformed yet
During gamete formation, the enzyme recombinase participates during
1. Metaphase-I
2. Anaphase-II
3. Prophase-I
4. Prophase-II
Select the correct option with respect to mitosis.
1. Chromatids start moving towards opposite poles in telophase
2. Golgi complex and endoplasmic reticulum are still visible at the end of prophase
3. Chromosomes move to the spindle equator and get aligned along equatorial plate in metaphase
4. Chromatids separate but remains in the centre of the cell in anaphase
