MCQ
The phase that precedes S phase is:
  • A. Gā‚‚
  • B. Gā‚€
  • C. M phase
  • D. G₁
āœ… Correct Answer: D
G₁ is the phase before S (DNA replication).
MCQ
Why is the G1 phase highly variable in length among different cells?
  • A. It depends on DNA content.
  • B. It reflects metabolic activity and readiness for DNA replication.
  • C. It involves chromosome separation and cytoplasmic seperation
  • D. It prepares the cell for meiosis.
āœ… Correct Answer: B
G1 phase varies depending on how long a cell remains metabolically active before committing to DNA replication.

MCQ
Why are checkpoints important during the cell cycle?
  • A. They delay cytokinesis.
  • B. They initiate cell differentiation and seperation
  • C. They ensure fidelity of cell division and genome integrity.
  • D. They help in meiosis only.
āœ… Correct Answer: C
Checkpoints ensure that the processes like DNA replication and chromosomal alignment happen correctly before proceeding.
MCQ
Why is mitosis more common in somatic cells than in gametes?
  • A. Because mitosis leads to genetic recombination
  • B. Because gametes need diploid cells
  • C. Because somatic cells require diploid identical daughter cells
  • D. Because mitosis halves the chromosome number
āœ… Correct Answer: C
Mitosis conserves the chromosome number, producing genetically identical diploid cells for body growth and repair.
MCQ
Why do chromosomes condense before alignment in metaphase?
  • A. To increase gene expression
  • B. To prevent attachment of spindle fibres
  • C. To allow visibility under microscope
  • D. To facilitate accurate segregation
āœ… Correct Answer: D
Highly condensed chromosomes allow for precise alignment and separation.
