    CH-10- Cell Cycle and Cell Division-Assignment

    I. MCQs
    1. Which one of the following events does NOT occur during prophase of mitosis?
    A. Attachment of kinetochore proteins to spindle fibers.
    B. Pairing of homologous chromosomes.
    C. Breakdown of nuclear membrane.
    D. Wrapping of DNA strands around proteins to form a more compact structure.

    2. Sister chromatids are made during what part of the cell cycle?
    A. Prophase
    B. G1
    C. G2
    D. S

    3. During meiosis I, the chromosomes start pairing at


    A. leptotene
    B. Zygotene
    C. Pachytene
    D. Diplotene

    4. A stage in cell division is shown in the figure given below. Select the option, which correctly
    identifies the stage and describes its characteristics.

    (a) Cytokinesis- Cell plate formation, distribution of mitochondria between two daughter cells.
    (b) Late anaphase- chromosomes move away from equatorial plate, ER and Golgi complex not
    seen.
    (c) Telophase- Chromosomes cluster at opposite poles, nuclear envelope reappears.
    (d) Anaphase I- Chromosomes move to opposite poles and centrioles have reappeared.

    II. In the following question a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given.
    Choose the correct answer out of the following choices given below.
    (a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of the assertion.
    (b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
    (c) A is true, but R is false.
    (d) A is false, but R is true.

    (i) Assertion- One complete meiosis results in the formation of four genetically different daughter
    cells.
    Reason- Crossing over during meiosis I leads to recombination of genes.
    (ii) Assertion- Interphase was often referred to as the resting stage.
    Reason-: During interphase, the cell is metabolically inactive.

    III. Answer the following Questions-


    1. Given below is a diagram representing a stage during mitotic cell division. Study it carefully
    and answer the following questions:

    (a) Is it a plant cell or animal cell. Give a reason to support your answer.
    (b) Identify the stage shown.
    (c) Name the stage that follows the one shown here. How is the stage identified?
    (d) How will you differentiate mitosis and meiosis on the basis of chromosome number in the
    daughter cells?

    2. (a) Which stage of meiosis is characterised by the appearance of recombination nodule?


    (b) Define crossing over.
    (c) What indicates the beginning of diplotene?

    3. Define cytokinesis. How is it accomplished in animal cells?

    4. Represent diagrammatically an animal cell having four chromosomes, at the stage of


    transition from metaphase I to anaphase I of meiosis.
