CELL CYCLE Mcqs

The document discusses various aspects of the cell cycle including: 1. Cytoplasm becomes more viscous during prophase. 2. Meiosis generally takes place in plants during formation of gametes. 3. The pairing of homologous chromosomes is completed in pachytene. It also contains multiple choice questions testing knowledge of different cell cycle stages, what occurs during each phase, chromosome behavior, and genetic disorders related to abnormalities in chromosome number such as Down's syndrome.
