In G1 phase, a cell has 2N chromosome content and 2C DNA content. The chromosome and DNA content at the end of S phase in this cell would be:
1. 1N; 1C | 2. 2N; 2C |
3. 2N; 4C | 4. 4N; 4C |

Consider the following two statements:
I: | Plant cells undergo cytokinesis in a different manner than the animal cells. |
II: | Plant cells are enclosed by a relatively inextensible cell wall. |
Of the two statements:
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is correct but II is incorrect
4. I is incorrect but II is correct

During diakinesis of prophase I:
I. Terminalisation of chiasmata takes place.
II. Meiotic spindle is assembled.
III. Nucleolus disappears and the nuclear membrane breaks down.
The correct statements are:
1. | I, II and III | 2. | I and II only |
3. | I and III only | 4. | II and III only |

Organisms prefer sexual mode of reproduction in adverse conditions because:
1. | It leads to a rapid proliferation of numbers |
2. | It requires two individuals that can support the progeny |
3. | It is less energy consuming than the asexual mode of reproduction |
4. | It provides protection and increases variations that may help progeny to survive |

The point of contact between paired chromatids during meiosis, resulting in a cross-shaped configuration and representing the cytological manifestation of crossing over is called:
