Cell Cycle and Cell Division Imp Questions Paper 2 Solutions

The document provides information about cell cycle and cell division including mitosis and meiosis. It defines key stages of each process and compares the differences between mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis involves chromosome doubling followed by one division, maintaining chromosome number, while meiosis involves two divisions and a reduction in chromosome number. The stages of mitosis are also outlined including prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

CBSE TEST PAPER-02

CLASS - XI BIOLOGY (Cell Cycle and Cell Division)

[ANSWERS]

1. pachytene.

2. A stage when cell cycle is arrested during interphase is called Go phase

3. Mitosis

4. In meiosis, the number of chromosomes is reduced to half so, it is called, reductional


division. The gametes are formed in sexually reproducing organisms in germ cell. While

m
in mitosis, number of chromosomes remains constant after division hence, it is called

co
equational division.

5. Three processes in interphase:-


z.
i) The replication of DNA with the synthesis of histones & nuclear proteins.
er

ii) Division of centriole to new centriole which lie at right to each other.
ap

iii) The synthesis of energy- rich compound to provide energy for mitosis.

6.
tP

i) The number of chromosomes in mitosis cell division remains constant in daughter


s

cells
Te

ii) Asexual reproduction occurs with the help of mitosis.


iii) Size of cell is controlled by mitosis.
iv) Growth & development of the zygote is maintained through mitosis

7.
MITOSIS MELOSIS
i) Chromosome doubling is followed by i) There is doubling of chromosomes once
separation of daughter chromosomes the but it is followed by two nuclear divisions.
cell divides only once. The cell divides twice.
ii) Mitosis occurs in all the somatic cells ii) It occurs in reproductive or germ cells
iii) It is completed in one sequence of iii) The whole process completes into two
stages successive divisions
iv) Synopsis is absent iv) Synopsis is present
v) No crossing over & chaisnata formation v) crossing over & chaismata formation
occurs
vi) A cell produces two diploid cells. vi) A cell produces four haploid cells.

8. Homologous chromosomes are pairs of similar chromosomes having corresponding


genes governing the same set of traits.
During the heterotypic division of meiosis in leptotene, chromosomes are thread shaped
& coiled. During zygotene, the homologous chromosomes start pairing. In pachytene,
the chromosomes show thickening & shortening. Diplotene, is marked by cessation of

m
attraction force between two homologous chromoses uncoiling of homologous

co
chromosomes tends to separate them from each other but remain attached at
chiasmata. During diakinesis, the separation of homologous chromosome is complete.
z.
Exchange of parts between chromatids of homologous chromosomes may take place.
er

During Anaphase I the centromere of homologous compounds of bivalents repel each


other After separation of centromere, the homologous chromosomes begin to move
ap

apart. In telophase-I the chromosomes reach poles & become shortened.


tP

9. Mitosis is an equational cell division in which number of chromosomes in parent &


s

progeny cell remains same.


Te

STAGES OF MITOSIS:-
1) PROPHASE:- a) chromosome material condenses to form compact mitotic
chromosomes. Chromosomes are seen to be composed of two
chromatids attached together at centromere.
b) Initiation of assembly of mitotic spindle, the microtubules the
protein components of the cell cytoplasm help in the process.
2) METAPHASE:- a) Spindle fibres attach to kinetochores of chromosomes
b) Chromosomes are moved to spindle equator & get aligned
along metaphase plate through spindle fibres to both poles.
3) ANAPHASE:- a) centromere splits and chromatids separate
b) Chromatids move to opposite poles.
4) TELOPHASE:- a) Chromosomes cluster at opposite spindle poles & their
identity is lost as discrete elements
b) Nuclear envelope assembles around the chromosome
clusters.
c) Nucleolus, Golgi complex & ER reform.
