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) |
Amount of cellular DNA increases during:
1. | Cytokinesis | 2. | Fertilisation |
3. | Mutation | 4. | Respiration |
What is correct?
1. | DNA content becomes double during G1- phase |
2. | Duration of interphase is short as compared to M-phase |
3. | G2-phase follows mitotic phase |
4. | DNA-replication occurs in S-phase |
Given below is a schematic break-up of the phases/stages of cell cycle. Which one of the following is the correct indication of the stage/phase in the cell cycle?
|
Identify the correct statement with regard to phase (Gap 1) of interphase.
1. | The reorganisation of all cell components takes place. |
2. | The cell is metabolically active, grows but does not replicate its DNA |
3. | Nuclear division takes place |
4. | DNA synthesis or replication takes place. |
Some dividing cells exit the cell cycle and enter the vegetative inactive stage. This is called the quiescent stage G0. This process occurs at the end of:
1. | G1 phase | 2. | S phase |
3. | G2 phase | 4. | M phase |
Match the following events that occur in their respective phases of cell cycle and select the correct option
(a) | G1 phase | (i) | Cell grows and organelle duplication |
(b) | S phase | (ii) | DNA replication and chromosome duplication |
(c) | G2 phase | (iii) | Cytoplasmic growth |
(d) | Metaphase in M-phase | (iv) | Alignment of chromosomes |
(a) | (b) | (c) | (d) | |
1. | (ii) | (iii) | (iv) | (i) |
2. | (iii) | (iv) | (i) | (ii) |
3. | (iv) | (i) | (ii) | (iii) |
4. | (i) | (ii) | (iii) | (iv) |
1. | Disappearance of nucleolus | 2. | Chromosome movement |
3. | Synapsis | 4. | Spindle fibres |
