1 (c) Topic :- Cell cycle and Cell Division

Meiosis first is allowed by second meiotic division, which is essentially a mitotic division
and is referred as mitotic. In anaphase-II of meiosis-II, the chromosome and centromere
divide. The sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite pole.
2 (a)
In meiosis (meiotic-I), chromosome number becomes half to that of parent chromosome.
3 (d)
Plant cytokinesis usually occurs by cell plate method. The spindle usually pesists during
cytokinesis. Central part of spindle grows in size and forms an interdigited complex called
phragmoplast. Cell plate grows centrifugally
4 (d)
A-G 1, B-S, C-G 2.
Post reproductive stage of a cell includes cell growth. The term cell growth is used in the
contexts of cell development and cell division. As we are concerned about growth
(development) only, it refers to the growth of cell that is to increase in cytoplasmic and
organelle volume that is in G 1-phase
S-phase is the sub-phase between G 1-phase and G 2-phase, during which DNA synthesis or
replication takes place.
In animal cells, during the S-phase, DNA replication begins in the nucleus and the centriole
duplication in the cytoplasm. The amount of DNA per cell doubles in the nucleus. If the
initial amount of DNA is denoted as 2C, then it increases to 4C. However, there is no
increase in the chromosome number
5 (a)
S or synthetic phase marks the period during which DNA synthesis or replication takes
place. During this phase, the amount of DNA per cell doubles.
The second stage of prophase-I is called zygotene. During this stage, chromosomes start
pairing together and this process of association is called synapsis. Such paired
chromosomes are called homologous chromosomes. Synapsis is accompanied by the
formation of a complex structure called synaptonemal complex.
6 (a)
Mitosis is one of the types of cell division, which helps in regeneration. Because it keeps all
the somatic cells of an organism genetically similar, so that they are able to regenerate a
part or whole of the organism
7 (b)
During meiosis, four haploid cells are produced by reductional division from a single
diploid cell. Parent cell contains replicated chromosomes, but the daughter cells contains
unreplicated chromosomes
8 (d)
The interphase, as called the resting phase, is the time during which the cell is preparing
for division by undergoing both cell growth and DNA replication.
It is the phase between two successive M-phases
The interphase is divided into three further classes
G1-phase (Gap 1), S-phase (synthesis) and G2-phase (Gap 2)
9 (c)
Crossing over occurs during pachytene or thick thread or pachynema substage of
prophase-I of meiosis. During this stage, an exchange of portions of chromatids between
homologous chromosomes occur. At chiasma, the chromatids break rejoin in such a way
that sections are exchanged.
10 (d)
Out of two alleles present at the same locus of two chromosomes of a homologous pair, one
is transmitted to a gamete as the later receive one chromosome of a homologous pair.
11 (b)
In plant cells, cytokinesis occurs by cell plate formation. A number of elements called
phragmoplasts are derived from ER and Golgi body. These elements line up at equator
during anaphase and later fuse to form cell plate.
12 (b)
During metaphase, the nuclear envelope disintegrates and the chromosomes are spread
through the cytoplasm of the cell. Condensation of chromosomes is completed and it can
be observed under the microscope. At this stage, the morphology as well as the number of
chromosomes can be easily studied
13 (a)
Interphase has variable duration. During this period, the DNA of chromosomes replicates.
Chromosome material is in the form of very loosely coiled threads called chromatin.
Centrioles already have replicated
14 (a)
During anaphase-I, the number of chromosomes become half.
15 (b)
G0-phase.
Some cells that do not divide further, exit G 1-phase and enter an inactive stage called
quiescent stage (G0 ) of the cell cycle. Cells in this stage remains metabolically active but no
longer proliferate unless called on to do so depending on the requirement of the organism
16 (d)
The interphase is also called the resting phase. It is the time during which the cell gets
prepared for division by undergoing both cell and DNA replication in an orderly manner
17 (c)
The cells, which do not divide further, do not proceed beyond the G 1-phase and start
undergoing differentiation into specific type are said to be in G 0-phase.
18 (c)
Division of cyptoplasm is called cytokinesis ( Gr. kitos =cell; kinesis=movement).
19 (d)
At the end of prophase, several characteristic events can be observed. Chromosomal
material condenses to form compact mitotic chromosomes. Two chromatids attach
together to form chromosomes
Assembly of mitotic spindle is initiated by, microtubules (proteinaceous components) of
the cell cytoplasm. When observed under the microscope cells at the last stage of
prophase, do not shows cell organelles like, Golgi complexes, endoplasmic reticulum,
nucleolus and the nuclear envelope
20 (c)
Prophase-I of Prophase of Mitosis

Meiosis
Prophase-I is very Prophase is
long and elaborate, relatively very
comprising 5 sub- short and simple
phases
Prophase Prophase-I
chromosomes chromosome do
appear double not look double in
from the very start the beginning
There is no pairing Homologous
of homologous chromosomes pair
Chromosomes, and often undergo
hence no chance of crossing over in
crossing over prophase-I
