As each chromosome moves away from the equatorial plate during the anaphase of mitosis:
1. the arms of each chromosome remain directed towards the pole and hence at the leading edge, with the centromere of the chromosome trailing behind.
2. the arms of each chromosome and the centromere remain directed towards the pole and hence at the leading edge.
3. the centromere of each chromosome remains directed towards the pole and hence at the leading edge, with the arms of the chromosome trailing behind.
4. the centromere and the arms of each chromosome do not move and remain at the metaphase plate.

Telophase of mitosis is characterised by all the following events, except:
1. Chromosomes cluster at opposite spindle poles, and their identity is lost as discrete elements.
2. Nuclear envelope develops around the chromosome clusters at each pole, forming two daughter nuclei.
3. Nucleolus, Golgi complex and ER reform.
4. Pairing of homologous chromosomes.

Mitosis accomplishes:
I: the segregation of duplicated chromosomes into daughter nuclei (karyokinesis)
II: division of the cell into two daughter cells by the separation of cytoplasm (cytokinesis)

1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect

In a plant cell, cytokinesis is achieved by:
1. the appearance of a furrow in the plasma membrane which gradually deepens and ultimately joins in the centre dividing the cell cytoplasm into two.
2. the appearance of the cell-plate and the formation starts in the centre of the cell and grows outward to meet the existing lateral walls.
3. the appearance of a furrow in the plasma membrane which starts in the centre of the cell and grows outward to meet the existing lateral walls.
4. the appearance of the cell-plate and the formation starts in the periphery of the cell and grows inward to meet the existing central walls.

Identify the correct statements regarding Meiosis:
I: Meiosis involves two sequential cycles of nuclear and cell division called meiosis I and meiosis II but only a single cycle of DNA replication.
II: Meiosis I is initiated after the parental chromosomes have replicated to produce identical sister chromatids at the S phase and the daughter cells of meiosis I replicate DNA during interkinesis.
III: Meiosis involves pairing of heterologous chromosomes and recombination between sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes.
IV: Four haploid cells are formed at the end of meiosis II.

1. I and II only
2. III and IV only
3. I and IV only
4. II and III only
