Humans have a haploid chromosome number n = 23. How many tetrads will be formed during meiosis?
1. | 23 | 2. | 46 |
3. | 69 | 4. | 92 |
Arrange the following events of meiosis in correct sequence

(d) Disappearance of nucleolus
1. | (b), (c), (d), (a) | 2. | (b), (a), (d), (c) |
3. | (b), (a), (c), (d) | 4. | (a), (b), (c), (d) |
Amount of cellular DNA increases during:
1. | Cytokinesis | 2. | Fertilisation |
3. | Mutation | 4. | Respiration |
Consider the given two statements:
I: | The kinetochore is essential for the chromosome segregation that is classically associated with mitosis and meiosis. |
II: | The kinetochore assembles on the centromere and links the chromosome to microtubule polymers from the mitotic spindle during mitosis and meiosis. |
1. | Both I and II are correct and II explains I |
2. | Both I and are correct but II does not explain I |
3. | I is correct and II is incorrect |
4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
1. | Disappearance of nucleolus | 2. | Chromosome movement |
3. | Synapsis | 4. | Spindle fibres |
Centromeres split leading to the separation of sister chromatids and the pulling of the separated sister chromatids to the opposite poles is seen in:
I: | Mitotic anaphase |
II: | Anaphase I |
III: | Anaphase II |
1. | Only I | 2. | Only I and II |
3. | Only III | 4. | Only I and III |
The fruit fly has 8 chromosomes (2n) in each cell. During the interphase of mitosis, if the number of chromosomes at G1 phase is 8, what would be the number of chromosomes after the S phase?
1. | 4 | 2. | 32 |
3. | 8 | 4. | 16 |
1. | Complete disintegration of nuclear envelope takes place. |
2. | Chromosomes are highly condensed. |
3. | Metaphase chromosomes are made up of four sister chromatids held together by centromere. |
4. | Chromosomes lie at the equator of the cell. |
Attachment of spindle fibers to kinetochores of chromosomes becomes evident in:
1. | Anaphase | 2. | Telophase |
3. | Prophase | 4. | Metaphase |
