While in mitosis, the daughter cells resemble each other and also the parent cell; in meiosis they differ not only from parent cell in having half the number of chromosomes, but also differ among themselves qualitatively in genetic constitution due to


Important Questions on Cell Cycle and Cell Division

Which of the following options show previous stage of this process?




The durations of mitotic stages in two situations are tabulated below.
Following are some interpretations:
I. A and B indicate the same plant tissue grown at higher and lower temperatures respectively.
II. A indicates a slow-growing plant species and 'B' indicates a fast-growing plant species.
III. Both A and B indicate dormant plant tissues with excessively long interphase. The correct interpretations are?

Given graphs and show four stages of cell cycle I.e., and but in random order. Identify the stages and match with the activities of the cell.
I. Taxol treatment, which prevents microtubule depolymerization, arrests the cell at this stage.
II. With a mitogen treatment, such as an epidermal growth factor, an arrested cell at this stage proceeds to the next stage of the cell cycle.
III. The cell cycle checkpoint at this stage confirms that DNA duplication is complete before the cell proceeds to the next stage.


The given figure is a schematic break-up of the phases/ stages of cell cycle. Select the correct option regarding it.
