The human meiocyte shows 92 chromatids at the end of S phase. The number of centromeres in this cell will be:
| 1. | 23 | 2. | 46 |
| 3. | 69 | 4. | 92 |
Humans have a haploid chromosome number n = 23. How many tetrads will be formed during meiosis?
| 1. | 23 | 2. | 46 |
| 3. | 69 | 4. | 92 |
The stage of mitosis shown in the given diagram is:
| 1. | Early Prophase | 2. | Late Prophase |
| 3. | Anaphase | 4. | Telophase |
Match the stage of meiotic cell division in column I with corresponding event in Column II and select the correct option from the codes given:

Recombination between homologous chromosomes is completed by the end of:
| 1. | Zygotene | 2. | Diplotene |
| 3. | Pachytene | 4. | Diakinesis |
Microtubules from opposite poles of the spindle get attached to the kinetochores of sister chromatids in:
| 1. | Metaphase I | 2. | Anaphase I |
| 3. | Metaphase II | 4. | Anaphase II |
Amount of cellular DNA increases during:
| 1. | Cytokinesis | 2. | Fertilisation |
| 3. | Mutation | 4. | Respiration |
Match the following events that occur in their respective phases of cell cycle and select the correct option
| (a) | G1 phase | (i) | Cell grows and organelle duplication |
| (b) | S phase | (ii) | DNA replication and chromosome duplication |
| (c) | G2 phase | (iii) | Cytoplasmic growth |
| (d) | Metaphase in M-phase | (iv) | Alignment of chromosomes |

Attachment of spindle fibers to kinetochores of chromosomes becomes evident in:
| 1. | Anaphase | 2. | Telophase |
| 3. | Prophase | 4. | Metaphase |
