In cell cycle, during which phase chromosomes are arranged in equatorial plate?
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Prophase
A.
Metaphase
Metaphase in both mitosis and meiosis is characterized by the arrangement of chromosomes on the spindle fibres at the equatorial plate.
Prophase is the longest phase. In this phase, chromatin of nucleus becomes condensed forming chromosomes.
Anaphase is the phase where the separation of chromatids takes place. It moves in the opposite direction towards the pole and is the shortest phase of all.
Telophase is the last phase. In this phase, chromatin network are reformed, nuclear membrane and nucleolus reappears.
Viruses that infect bacterial multiplication and cause their lysis, are called
Lysozymes
Lipolytic
Lytic
Lysogenic
Which one of the following precedes re-formation of the nuclear envelope during M-phase of the cell Cycle?
Decondensation from chromosome and reassembly of the nuclear lamina
Transcription from chromosome and reassembly of the nuclear lamina
Formation of the contractile ring and formation of the phragmoplast
Formaltion of the contractile ring and transcription from chromosomes
The mitotic cell cycle is divided typically into four phases; G1, S, G2 and M. Considering a mitotic cycle time of 18 hrs; the distribution of period of time (in hrs) for each of these phases will be
| G1 | S | G2 | M |
| 1 | 3 | 5 | 9 |
| G1 | S | G2 | M |
| 9 | 1 | 3 | 5 |
| G1 | S | G2 | M |
| 9 | 5 | 3 | 1 |
| G1 | S | G2 | M |
| 3 | 5 | 9 | 1 |
Independent assortment of gene occurs due to the orientation of chromosomes at
Metaphase-I of mitosis
Metaphase-I of meiosis
Metaphase-II of meiosis
Any phase of the cell division
Post-mitotic gap phase is characterised by all, except
Synthesis of RNA and nucleotides
No change in DNA content
Synthesis of histone proteins
Growth phase of the hell
During meiotic division, the
homologous chromosomes are seperated
linkage is disturbed
homologous chromosomes do not segregate
All of the above
During the G1- phase of cell division
RNA and proteins are synthesised
DNA and proteins are synthesised
cell prepares for M- phase
cell undergoes duplication
The non-disjunction, in meiosis may result is extra copy of a chromosome in a sperm cell. During which phase the above phenomenon may occur?
Prophase-I, prophase-II
Prophase-I, prophase-II
Anaphase-I, anaphase-II
Anaphase-I, telophase-II
