Questions Related to cell division in embryo development

How many chromosomes will the cell have at GI, after S and after M-phase respectively if it has 14 chromosomes at interphase

  1. 7, 14, 14

  2. 14, 14, 14

  3. 14, 14, 7

  4. 7, 7, 7


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

At G1 phase, there will be 14 chromosomes as no DNA replication has taken place. After S Phase, the DNA content doubles but chromosome number still remains same here 14. After completion of M phase, the number of chromosomes will be 28 with each daughter cell having same number of chromosomes as that of parent i.e 14

Therefore B is the correct option. 

Match the lists and choose the correct option:

a. $G _1$ phase i. Replication of DNA
b. S-phase ii. Quiescent stage
c. $G _2$-phase iii. Condensation chromatin
d. $G _0$-phase iv. Protein synthesis
v. Interval between mitosis and initiate of DNA replication
  1. a-iii, b-ii, c-i, d-ii

  2. a-v, b-iv, c-i, d-iii

  3. a - v, b -i, c - iv, d-ii

  4. a v, b -ii, c-iii, d - iv


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Interphase generally lasts at least 12 to 24 hours in mammalian tissue. During this period, the cell is constantly synthesizing RNA, producing protein and growing in size. Interphase can be divided into 4 steps: Gap 0 (G0), Gap 1 (G1), S (synthesis) phase, Gap 2 (G2).
Gap 0 (G0): There are times when a cell will leave the cycle and quit dividing
Gap 1 (G1): Cells increase in size in Gap 1, produce RNA and synthesize protein.
S Phase: To produce two similar daughter cells, DNA replication occurs during this S (synthesis) phase.
Gap 2 (G2): During the gap between DNA synthesis and mitosis, the cell will continue to grow and produce new proteins.
Hence answer is 'a - v, b -i, c - iv, d-ii'

Which stage of cell cycle occurs immediately prior to mitosis 

  1. $M$

  2. $G _1$

  3. $S$

  4. $G _2$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$G _2$ phase is the phase of cell cycle occurs immediately prior to mitosis.
sequence of cell cycle is -- $G _1$ to $S$ to $G _2$ to $M$ to cytokinesis.

So, the correct answer is '$G _2$

Euthanasia (mercy killing) was first legalized in

  1. Switzerland

  2. Netherland

  3. France

  4. Italy


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Euthanasia is the practice of intentionally ending a life in order to relieve pain and suffering. The Netherland's parliament passed a bill legalizing euthanasia on February 20th, 2008 becoming the first country to do so.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
