Sample Questions

1mcq

The phase of the cell cycle during which DNA replication occurs is:

Show answer

S phase

DNA replication occurs during the S (Synthesis) phase of interphase. During this phase, the DNA content of the cell doubles from 2C to 4C.

2mcq

Mitosis results in the formation of:

Show answer

2 diploid cells

Mitosis (equational division) produces 2 diploid (2n) daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell.

3mcq

Meiosis results in the formation of:

Show answer

4 haploid cells

Meiosis involves two successive divisions (Meiosis I + Meiosis II) producing 4 haploid (n) cells from one diploid (2n) parent cell.

4mcq

The stage of mitosis at which chromosomes are best seen and counted is:

Show answer

Metaphase

During Metaphase, chromosomes are maximally condensed and aligned at the equatorial plate. This makes them easiest to count and photograph for karyotyping.
