The cell shown in the given diagram is in:
|
All the following are significances of mitosis except:
| 1. | Restoration of nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio |
| 2. | Growth of living organisms |
| 3. | Replacement of lost cells |
| 4. | Generation of genetic variation |
Which of the following stages of Prophase I of meiosis I can last for many months or years in certain vertebrate oocytes?
| 1. | Zygotene | 2. | Pachytene |
| 3. | Diplotene | 4. | Diakinesis |
Males produce gametes by mitosis in:
| 1. | Honey bees | 2. | Grasshopper |
| 3. | Birds | 4. | Drosophila melanogaster |
Meiosis results in the formation of:
| 1. | Two genetically identical diploid cells |
| 2. | Two genetically non identical diploid cells |
| 3. | Four genetically identical haploid cells |
| 4. | Four genetically non identical haploid cells |
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 |
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 |
