Mitosis is also called ‘equational division’ because:

1. the number of chromosomes in both daughter cells are the same
2. the sum of the number of chromosomes in two daughter cells is equal to the number of chromosomes in the parent cell
3. each progeny cell receives only one set of chromosomes from the parent cell
4. the number of chromosomes in the parent and the progeny cells is the same

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

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.
