Fill in the blanks

1. The type of cell division in which number of chromosomes remains

constant in the daughter generations is called ______________

2. An exact copy of the DNA is formed before the cell division. This process is

called _______________

3. Sister chromatids are attached by__________________
4. A contracting belt of microfilaments are present in the middle of the cell.

These microfilaments are called the______________ ring.

5. MPF belongs to a family of enzymes called _____________
6. is a type of cell division in which number chromosome reduced to one half in the daughter cell.
7. The fusion of gamete is called _________________
8. The _ chromosomes carry genes for the same traits, have
   same length, and have a similar staining pattern. Ans:

1. mitosis                               2. replication                         3. centromere

4. contractile                          5. protein kinases                6. Meiosis

Short Questions

1. What is mitosis? Name its different phases.

Ans: The type of cell division in which number of chromosomes remains constant in the daughter^. generations is called mitosis. Mitosis is divided into four phases: prophase, metaphase; anaphase, and telophase.

2. What is contractile ring?

Ans: A contracting belt of microfilaments are present in the middle of the cell These microfilaments are called the contractile ring.

3. What are restriction points during cell cycle?

Ans: A crucial checkpoint occurs late in the G1 before DNA synthesis (the S phase). This is called restriction point. If all the internal and external factors are favorable, the cells copy its DNA. Then it divides.

4. What is meiosis?

Ans: Meiosis is a type of cell division in which number chromosome reduced to one half in the daughter cell.

5. What are homologous chromosomes?

Ans: The homologous chromosomes carry genes for the same traits, have same length, and have a similar staining pattern.

3. The formation of ova or egg in the ovaries is called oogenesis.
4. Synapsis also initiates crossing over.
5. The microtubules in the mitotic spindle shorten.
6. The period from the time a cell is produced until it completes mitosis is called mitosis.
7. The daughter chromosomes begin to uncoil for gene expression.
8. The ring contract and pinches the plasma membrane inward. It forms a
   cleavage furrow.
