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 |
Spindle fibres attach on to
1. kinetochore of the chromosome
2. centromere of the chromosome
3. kinetosome of the chromosome
4. telomere of the chromosome
| 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. |
Amount of cellular DNA increases during:
