Cell Cycle and Cell Division

Identify the meiotic stage in which the homologous chromosomes separate while the sister chromatids remain associated at their centromeres.

1. Metaphase I
2. Metaphase II
3. Anaphase I
4. Anaphase II

During gamete formation, the enzyme recombinase participates during

1. metaphase I
2. anaphase II
3. prophase I
4. prophase II.

Given below is the representation of a certain event at a particular stage of a type of cell division. Which is this stage? [Figure]

1. Prophase of Mitosis
2. Both prophase and metaphase of mitosis
3. Prophase I during meiosis
4. Prophase-II during meiosis

At metaphase, chromosomes are attached to the spindle fibres by their

1. satellites
2. secondary constrictions
3. kinetochores
4. centromeres.

Select the correct option with respect to mitosis.

1. Chromatids separate but remain in the centre of the cell in anaphase
2. Chromatids start moving towards opposite poles in telophase
3. Golgi complex and endoplasmic reticulum are still visible at the end of prophase
4. Chromosomes move to the spindle equator and get aligned along equatorial plate in metaphase

During mitosis, ER and nucleolus begin to disappear at

1. late prophase
2. early metaphase
3. late metaphase
4. early prophase

Which stages of cell division do the following figures A and B represent respectively? [Figure]

1. A Prophase, B Anaphase
2. A Metaphase, B Telophase
3. A Telophase, B Metaphase
4. A Late anaphase, B Prophase

Synapsis occurs between

1. mRNA and ribosomes
2. spindle fibres and centromere
3. two homologous chromosomes
4. a male and a female gamete

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? [figure]

1. C - karyokinesis
2. D - synthetic phase
3. A - cytokinesis
4. B - metaphase

At what stage of the cell cycle are histone proteins synthesized in a eukaryotic cell?

1. During G2 stage of prophase
2. During S-phase
3. During entire prophase
4. During telophase
