Q. No.The correct chronology of stages of Prophase I is:
1. Leptotene – Zygotene – Pachytene – Diplotene – Diakinesis
2. Leptotene – Pachytene – Zygotene – Diplotene – Diakinesis
3. Leptotene – Zygotene – Pachytene – Diakinesis – Diplotene
4. Zygotene – Leptotene – Pachytene – Diakinesis – Diplotene
Identify the correct statement amongst the following:
| 1. | Crossing over occurs in prophase I of meiosis and metaphase of mitosis. |
| 2. | DNA replication occurs once prior to mitosis and twice prior to meiosis. |
| 3. | Both mitosis and meiosis result in daughter cells identical to the parent cells. |
| 4. | Karyokinesis occurs once in mitosis and twice in meiosis. |
Which of the following stages of Prophase I of meiosis I can last for many months or years in certain vertebrate oocytes?
| 1. | Zygotene | 2. | Pachytene |
| 3. | Diplotene | 4. | Diakinesis |
Males produce gametes by mitosis in:
| 1. | Honey bees | 2. | Grasshopper |
| 3. | Birds | 4. | Drosophila melanogaster |
The paired homologues seen during zygotene of meiosis I are known as:
| 1. | Bivalent | 2. | Tetrad |
| 3. | Mitotic apparatus | 4. | Sister chromosomes |
Which of the following is not a feature of diakinesis stage of prophase I of meiosis I?
1. Terminalization of chiasmata
2. Meiotic spindle assembling to prepare separation of homologues
3. Decondensation of the chromatin
4. NEBD and disappearance of nucleolus
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
The beginning of diplotene is recognized by:
| I: | dissolution of the synaptonemal complex |
| II: | the tendency of recombined homologues of bivalents to separate |
| III: | tetrads becoming clearly visible |
| 1. | Only I and II | 2. | Only I and III |
| 3. | Only II and III | 4. | I, II, and III |
During anaphase I of meiosis
1. Homologous chromosomes separate
2. Non-homologous autosomes separate
3. Sister chromatids separate
4. Non-sister chromatids separate
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 |
