Which of the following maintain the constant number of chromosomes generation after generation?
Meiosis
Endomitosis
Mitosis
Amitosis
When synapsis is complete all along the chromosome, the cell is said to have entered a stage called
zygotene
pachytene
diplotene
diakinesis
Chiasmata are most appropriately observed in meiosis during :
diakinesis
diplotene
metaphase II
pachytene
B.
diplotene
Chiasmata is observed in meiosis during diplotene, sub stage of Prophase-I. It is the result of crossing over. Each chiasmata is the site of an exchange between chromatids. It is produced by breakage and reunion between any two of the four strands present at each site.
Lampbrush chromosomes are seen in which typical stage
mitotic anaphase
mitotic prophase
mitotic metaphase
meiotic prophase
Colchicine prevents the mitosis of the cells at which of the following stage?
Anaphase
Metaphase
Prophase
Interphase
In meiosis division is
Ist reductional and IInd equational
Ist equational and IInd reductional
both reductional
both equational
