Free Cell Cycle And Cell Division (Daily Quiz: 14) NEET Biology Questions & Answers with Detailed Explanation & Full Review

Free Cell Cycle And Cell Division (Daily Quiz: 14) Time:

Question-1

Cells which are not dividing are likely to be at

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (c)

In $G_{0}$ stage, no growth takes place. It is also called the quiescent stage. Some cells of the body like heart cells, neuron which do not divide, exit at $G_{1}$ stage and enter $G_{0}$ of the cell cycle an inactive stage. The cells in this stage remain metabolically active but no longer proliferate unless called on to do so depending up on the requirement of the organism.

$G_{1}$ phase  is the first growth phase in post mitotic gap phase that lasts from the end of mitotic cycle to the initiation of DNA replication.

$G_{2}$ phase  is the second growth phase or premitotic gap phase in which cell prepares itself to enter cell division, or mitosis.

S-phase is the synthetic phase in which chromosomes replicate.


Question-2

In the somatic cell cycle

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)


Question-3

A triploid nucleus cannot undergo meiosis because

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (d)

The triploid nucleus formed in the embryo sac of a seed plant by fusion of a sperm nucleus with two polar nuclei or with a nucleus formed by the prior fusion of the polar nuclei. A triploid nucleus cannot undergo meiosis because not all of the chromosomes can form homologous pairs.


Question-4

A somatic cell that has just completed the S phase of its cell cycle, as compared to gamete of the same species, has :

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (a)

When S-phase completes, a somatic cell contains 2n number of chromosomes and 4C content of DNA.


Question-5

Spindle fibres attach on to

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (a)

Attachment of microtubules to chromosomes is mediated by kinetochores, which actively monitor spindle formation and prevent premature anaphase onset during mitosis.
