Q1 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ
Which stage of meiotic prophase shows terminalisation of chiasmata as its distinctive feature?
aZygotene
bDiakinesis
cPachytene
dLeptotene
✓ Correct answer: b) Diakinesis
ExplanationDiakinesis is the final stage of meiotic prophase I and is marked by terminalisation of chiasmata.Leptotene is the first stage of meiotic prophase I and in this stage, the chromosomes become gradually visible under the light microscope.Zygotene is the second stage of prophase I and this stage is characterised by synapsis.Pachytene is the third stage of meiotic prophase I and this stage is characterised by the appearance of recombination nodules.
Q2 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ
Mitotic anaphase differs from metaphase in possessing:
aSame number of chromosomes and same number of chromatids
bHalf number of chromosomes and half number of chromatids
cHalf number of chromosomes and same number of chromatids
dSame number of chromosomes and half number of chromatids
✓ Correct answer: d) Same number of chromosomes and half number of chromatids
ExplanationThe correct answer is option D Explaination Mitotic anaphase differs from metaphase primarily in how the chromosomes are arranged and distributed within the cell.Let's break down the options: A. Same number of chromosomes and same number of chromatids - This is incorrect.In anaphase, the sister chromatids of each chromosome separate, so there are still the same number of chromosomes but each chromosome now only has one chromatid.B. Half number of chromosomes and half number of chromatids - This is incorrect.Anaphase doesn't reduce the number of chromosomes; instead, it separates the sister chromatids, so each chromosome retains the same number but with only one chromatid.C. Half number of chromosomes and same number of chromatids - This is incorrect.Anaphase doesn't halve the number of chromosomes; it separates the sister chromatids, so the number of chromosomes remains the same, but each chromosome now only has one chromatid.D. Same number of chromosomes and half number of chromatids - This is correct.In anaphase, the number of chromosomes remains the same as in metaphase, but each chromosome now only has one chromatid instead of two, as they've been separated and are moving toward opposite poles of the cell.So, the correct option is Option D: Same number of chromosomes and half number of chromatids.
Q3 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ
Which statement best explains the evolutionary advantage of meiosis?
aMeiosis is necessary for sexual reproduction
bGenetic recombinations are possible from generation to generation
cMeiosis alternates with mitosis from generation to generation
dThe same genetic system is passed on from generation to generation
✓ Correct answer: b) Genetic recombinations are possible from generation to generation
ExplanationDuring crossing over of meiosis, exchange of genetic material takes place between non- sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes and result in genetic recombination.In every generation, this recombination occurs at the time of gamete formation.
Q4 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ
If you are provided with root-tips of onion in your class and are asked to count the chromosomes, which of the following stages can you most conveniently look into?
aMetaphase
bTelophase
cAnaphase
dProphase
✓ Correct answer: a) Metaphase
ExplanationThe correct answer is: A — Metaphase Explanation: During metaphase, chromosomes are highly condensed and aligned at the cell’s equatorial plate, making them easiest to visualize and count under a microscope.In prophase, chromosomes are thin and thread-like.In anaphase, chromatids are separating, and in telophase, chromosomes start decondensing, both making counting difficult.
Q5 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ
During mitosis ER and nucleolus begin to disappear at:
aEarly metaphase
bLate metaphase
cEarly prophase
dLate prophase
✓ Correct answer: d) Late prophase
ExplanationCells at the end of prophase, when viewed under microscope do not show Golgi complexes, endoplasmic reticulum, nucleolus and the nuclear envelope.
Q6 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ
The complex formed by a pair of synapsed homologous chromosomes is called
abivalent
baxoneme
cequatorial plate
dkinetochore
✓ Correct answer: a) bivalent
ExplanationA bivalent, also sometimes referred to as a tetrad, is the complex structure formed during prophase I of meiosis when a pair of homologous chromosomes synapse, or physically pair up.This pairing is essential for genetic recombination (crossing over) and the correct segregation of chromosomes during cell division.
