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. |
The cell shown in the given diagram is in:
|
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 |
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
Assertion (A): | Meiosis ensures the production of haploid phase in the life cycle of sexually reproducing organisms. |
Reason (R): | Syngamy restores the diploid condition in sexually reproducing organisms. |
1. | (A) is true; (R) is False |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A) |
4. | (A) is False; (R) is True |
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. |
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. | Leptotene, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diakinesis and Diplotene. |
2. | Leptotene, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diplotene and Diakinesis. |
3. | Leptotene, Pachytene, Zygotene, Diakinesis and Diplotene. |
4. | Diplotene, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diakinesis and Leptotene. |
Synapsis occurs between
1. mRNA and ribosomes
2. Spindle fibers and centromere
3. Two homologous chromosomes
4. A male and a female gamete
