Q. No.The phase of mitosis in which the spindle fibers break apart, two new nuclear membranes begin to form, and the chromosomes disperse into chromatin is
| 1. | metaphase | 2. | telophase |
| 3. | anaphase | 4. | prophase |
Identify the correct statement regarding meiosis amongst the following:
| I: | Meiosis involves two sequential cycles of nuclear and cell divisions but only a single cycle of DNA replication. |
| II: | Meiosis II is initiated after the parental chromosomes have replicated to produce identical sister chromatids at the S phase. |
| III: | Meiosis involves pairing of bivalents and recombinations between them. |
| 1. | I only | 2. | I and II only |
| 3. | I and III only | 4. | I, II and III |
Cells at the end of prophase of mitosis, when viewed under the microscope, do not show:
| I: | Golgi complexes |
| II: | Endoplasmic reticulum |
| III: | Nucleolus |
| IV: | Nuclear envelope |
1. Only I and II are correct
2. Only III and IV are correct
3. Only II, III and IV are correct
4. I, II, III and IV are correct
The stage during which separation of the paired homologous chromosomes begins is
| 1. | Pachytene | 2. | Diplotene |
| 3. | Diakinesis | 4. | Zygotene |
The enzyme recombinase is required at which stage of meiosis
1. Pachytene
2. Zygotene
3. Diplotene
4. Diakinesis
The complex formed by a pair of synapsed homologous chromosomes is called
| 1. | Equatorial plate | 2. | Kinetochore |
| 3. | Bivalent | 4. | Axoneme |
Arrange the following events of meiosis in correct sequence
(a) Crossing over
(b) Synapsis
(c) Terminalisation of chiasmata
(d) Disappearance of nucleolus
| 1. | (b), (c), (d), (a) | 2. | (b), (a), (d), (c) |
| 3. | (b), (a), (c), (d) | 4. | (a), (b), (c), (d) |
Match the following with respect to meiosis:
| (a) | Zygotene | (i) | Terminalization |
| (b) | Pachytene | (ii) | Chiasmata |
| (c) | Diplotene | (iii) | Crossing over |
| (d) | Diakinesis | (iv) | Synapsis |
Select the correct option from the following:
| (a) | (b) | (c) | (d) | |
| 1. | (iv) | (iii) | (ii) | (i) |
| 2. | (i) | (ii) | (iv) | (iii) |
| 3. | (ii) | (iv) | (iii) | (i) |
| 4. | (iii) | (iv) | (i) | (ii) |
Crossing over that results in genetic recombination in higher organisms occurs between:-
1. Non-sister chromatids of a bivalent
2. Two daughter nuclei
3. Two different bivalents
4. Sister chromatids of a bivalent
Amount of cellular DNA increases during:
| 1. | Cytokinesis | 2. | Fertilisation |
| 3. | Mutation | 4. | Respiration |
