The phase of the cell cycle during which DNA replication takes place is:
1. | G1 phase | 2. | S phase |
3. | G2 phase | 4. | M phase |
The correct chronology of stages of karyokinesis in mitosis is:
1. Prophase – Anaphase – Metaphase – Telophase
2. Prophase – Metaphase – Anaphase – Telophase
3. Prophase – Metaphase – Telophase – Anaphase
4. Telophase – Anaphase – Metaphase – Prophase
The centrosome duplicates during:
1. | Early Prophase | 2. | Late Prophase |
3. | S phase | 4. | G2 phase |
Prophase of mitosis is not characterized by:
1. condensation of chromatin
2. migration of centrosomes to opposite poles
3. formation of mitotic apparatus
4. pairing of homologous chromosomes
Cells at the end of prophase, when viewed under the microscope, show:
1. | Nuclear envelope | 2. | Nucleolus |
3. | Mitochondria | 4. | Endoplasmic reticulum |
Identify the stage of mitosis shown in the given diagram:

The start of the second phase of mitosis, metaphase, is marked by:
1. complete disintegration of the nuclear envelope
2. alignment of chromosomes at the equatorial plate
3. de-condensation of chromatin
4. reappearance of the nucleolus
Consider the given two statements:
I: | Morphology of chromosomes is best studied at metaphase |
II: | At this stage, a chromosome is made up of two sister chromatids, held together at the centromere |
1. Both I and II are True and II explains I
2. Both I and II are True but II does not explain I
3. I is True but II is False
4. I is False but II is True
The phase of the cell cycle that lasts for the least time is the:
1. | G1 phase | 2. | S phase |
3. | G2 phase | 4. | M phase |
All the following key events take place during telophase of mitosis except:
1. Chromosomes cluster at the opposite spindle poles
2. Chromosomes become discrete
3. Nuclear envelope reforms
4. Nucleolus, ER and Golgi complex reform
