The beginning of diplotene is recognized by:
I: | dissolution of the synaptonemal complex |
II: | the tendency of recombined homologues of bivalents to separate |
III: | tetrads becoming clearly visible |
1. | Only I and II | 2. | Only I and III |
3. | Only II and III | 4. | I, II, and III |
During anaphase I of meiosis
1. Homologous chromosomes separate
2. Non-homologous autosomes separate
3. Sister chromatids separate
4. Non-sister chromatids separate
Cells which are not dividing are likely to be at
1. | G1 | 2. | G2 |
3. | G0 | 4. | S phase |
During what phase in the cell cycle would you find the most DNA per cell?
1. G1 | 2. G2 |
3. S | 4. Prophase II |
The phase of the cell cycle that is expected to be the most variable in duration in different types of cells in an animal will be:
1. G1 | 2. S |
3. G2 | 4. M |
Which stage of meiosis is shown in the diagram given below?
1. | Metaphase I | 2. | Metaphase II |
3. | Anaphase I | 4. | Anaphase II |
In meiosis:
1. | A single round of DNA replication is followed by two sequential divisions with chromosome number and DNA content getting reduced twice |
2. | A single round of DNA replication is followed by two sequential divisions with chromosome number getting reduced twice and DNA content getting reduced once |
3. | A single round of DNA replication is followed by two sequential divisions with chromosome number getting reduced once and DNA content getting reduced twice |
4. | A single round of DNA replication is followed by two sequential divisions with chromosome number and DNA content getting reduced once |
The mechanisms that contribute to the genetic variation arising from sexual reproduction include:
I: | Independent assortment of chromosomes |
II: | Crossing over |
III: | Random fertilization |
1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II and III |
Consider the following functions:
I: | Replication of DNA along with the synthesis of nuclear proteins such as histones |
II: | Duplication of centriole |
III: | Synthesis of energy rich compounds and proteins |
Which of the above functions are carried out by a plant cell before it divides?
1. | I only | 2. | I, and II |
3. | I and III | 4. | I, II and III |
A ribbon-like structure consisting of three protein components and extending across the region of synapsed chromosomes during the prophase of meiosis, is called:
1. | Phragmoplast | 2. | Phragmosome |
3. | Synaptonemal complex | 4. | Recombination nodule |
