What is the longest phase of the cell cycle during which the cell prepares for division?
During which phase of interphase does DNA replication occur?
What is the simplest mode of cell division that occurs in unicellular organisms?
During which phase of mitosis do chromosomes align at the equatorial plane?
Sample Questions
Which of the following processes occur during G₁ phase? (Select all correct answers)
Show answer
RNA synthesis, Protein synthesis, Membrane synthesis
During G₁ phase, the cell performs RNA synthesis (mRNA, rRNA, tRNA), protein synthesis, and membrane synthesis. DNA replication occurs in S phase, and histone proteins are synthesized during S phase.
What happens during anaphase of mitosis? (Select all correct answers)
Show answer
Sister chromatids separate, Chromosomes move to opposite poles, Spindle fibres contract and elongate
During anaphase, sister chromatids separate to form daughter chromosomes and move to opposite poles. This is achieved by contraction of kinetochore fibres and elongation of polar fibres. Nuclear membrane disappears in prophase, and chromosomes condense in prophase.
In plant cells, how does cytokinesis differ from animal cells?
Show answer
By cell plate formation
Plant cells form a cell plate that grows outward to divide the cell because they have a rigid cell wall. Animal cells form a cleavage furrow with contractile rings.
What type of division is meiosis in terms of chromosome number?
Show answer
Reductional division
Meiosis is called reductional division because it reduces the chromosome number from diploid (2n) to haploid (n). Each daughter cell has half the chromosome number of the parent cell.
