MCQ
Homologous chromosomes separate, but the centromere does not divide during:
  • A. Metaphase II
  • B. Anaphase II
  • C. Metaphase I
  • D. Anaphase I
✅ Correct Answer: D
Only homologous chromosomes move to opposite poles; sister chromatids remain joined.
MCQ
Why does no DNA replication occur during interkinesis?
  • A. Because DNA condenses during interkinesis
  • B. Because cell is metabolically inactive
  • C. Because spindle assembly continues
  • D. Because replication already occurred in pre-meiotic S phase
✅ Correct Answer: D
Only one round of DNA replication occurs before meiosis I. Interkinesis is a rest phase without replication.

MCQ
What ensures chromosomal number constancy across generations?
  • a Mitosis
  • b Cytokinesis
  • c Binary fission
  • d Meiosis
✅ Correct Answer: D
Meiosis reduces the chromosome number by half and restores it during fertilisation.
MCQ
What is the term for paired homologous chromosomes during prophase I?
  • a Sister chromatids
  • b Chiasmata
  • c Bivalent
  • d Diploid
✅ Correct Answer: C
The synapsed homologous chromosomes form a structure known as a bivalent or tetrad.
MCQ
Why is metaphase II considered similar to metaphase of mitosis?
  • A. Both have homologous chromosomes at equator
  • B. Both involve synapsis
  • C. Both involve chiasmata
  • D. Both align chromosomes individually at equator
✅ Correct Answer: D
Unlike metaphase I, where homologous chromosomes align, metaphase II has individual chromosomes.
