• Megaspore

A stage in cell division is shown in the figure. Select the answer which gives correct identification of the stage with its characteristics

• Telophase - Nuclear envelope reforms, Golgi complex reforms

• Late anaphase - Chromosomes move away from equatorial plate, Golgi complex not present

• Cytokinesis - Cell plate formed, mitochondria distributed between two daughter cells

• Telophase - Endoplasmic reticulum and nucleolus not reformed yet

Select the correct statement related to mitosis.

• Amount of DNA in the parent cell is first halved and then distributed into two daughter cells

• Amount of DNA in the parent cell is first doubled and then distributed into two daughter cells

• Amount of DNA in the parent cell is first halved and then distributed into four daughter cells

• Amount of DNA in the parent cell is first doubled and then distributed into four daughter cells

Which one of the following is wrong for meiosis?

• It leads to formation of sister chromatids

• It occurs in diploid cell

• It occurs in haploid cell

• It occurs by splitting of centromeres and separation of sister chromatids
