Statement I: | In male honeybees, haploid cells divide by mitosis. |
Statement II: | Higher plants show mitotic divisions only in diploid cells. |
1. | Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect. |
2. | Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is incorrect. |
3. | Statement I is correct and Statement II is correct. |
4. | Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct. |
1. | It follows the G2 phases of interphase. |
2. | It is marked by the initiation of condensation of chromosomal material. |
3. | The centrosome undergoes duplication during this phase in animal cells. |
4. | By the end of this phase, chromosomes are seen to be composed of two chromatids attached together at the centromere. |
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 re-form. |
4. | Microtubules get organised into spindle fibres. |
1. | Meiosis involves two sequential cycles of nuclear and cell division called meiosis I and meiosis II but only a single cycle of DNA replication. |
2. | Meiosis I is initiated after the parental chromosomes have replicated to produce identical sister chromatids at the S phase. |
3. | Meiosis involves pairing of homologous chromosomes and recombination between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. |
4. | Four haploid cells are formed at the end of meiosis I. |
1. | It is called Zygotene. |
2. | Chromosomes start pairing together and this process of association is called synapsis. |
3. | Such paired chromosomes are called heterologous chromosomes. |
4. | Chromosome synapsis is accompanied by the formation of complex structure called synaptonemal complex. |
1. | Leptotene | 2. | Zygotene |
3. | Pachytene | 4. | Diplotene |
1. | It is the final stage of meiotic prophase I. |
2. | It is marked by terminalisation of chiasmata. |
3. | During this phase, the meiotic spindle is assembled to prepare the homologous chromosomes for separation. |
4. | By the end of diakinesis, the nucleolus reappears and the nuclear envelope also reappears. |
Statement I: | The homologous chromosomes separate, while sister chromatids remain associated at their centromeres. |
Statement II: | It is the basis of segregation. |
1. | Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect. |
2. | Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is incorrect. |
3. | Statement I is correct and Statement II is correct. |
4. | Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct. |
Statement I: | The nuclear membrane and nucleolus reappear. |
Statement II: | The chromosomes reach the extremely extended state of the interphase nucleus. |
