Question - 1

Which of the following options give the correct sequence of events during mitosis?

  • A condensation > nuclear membrane disassembly > crossing over > segregation > telophase

  • A Chromosomes will not condense
  • B Chromosomes will be fragmented
  • C Chromosomes will not segregate
  • D Recombination of chromosome arms will occur

Question - 3

DNA replication in bacteria occurs:

  • A During S-phase
  • B Within nucleolus
  • C Prior to fission
  • D Just before transcription.

Question - 4

When the cell has started DNA replication, which check point should be predominantly activated?

  • A G1/S
  • B G2/M and M

Question - 7

In S-phase of cell cycle:
