Identify the incorrect statement regarding prophase stage of mitosis:
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.

All the following events take place during the telophase stage of mitosis 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 re-form.
4. Microtubules get organised into spindle fibres.

All the following are key features of meiosis except:
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.

What is incorrect regarding the second stage of prophase 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.

Identify the incorrect statement regarding diakinesis of prophase I of meiosis I:
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.
