    Anaphase, metaphase, telophase and prophase
  • b)
    Telophase, anaphase, metaphase and prophase
  • c)
    Metaphase, telophase, prophase and anaphase
  • d)
    Prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Neha Joshi answered
Mitosis consists of four basic phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.  These phases occur in this strict sequential order, and cytokinesis - the process of dividing the cell contents to make two new cells - starts in anaphase or telophase.
1. Prophase - During prophase, chromosomes get visible (chromatids), the centrioles migrate to the poles, nuclear membrane and nucleolus disappear and spindle formation is seen. Prophase in mitosis is longer than any other phases of mitosis because the cell has to prepare for the actual division that takes place from early through late prophase.
2. Metaphase - During this, chromosomes lineup around the centre (Cells in metaphase have the chromosomes, which appear as long thin strands under the microscope). 
3. Anaphase - here, chromatids separate and move to opposite poles by spindle fibers. This allows each daughter cell to have an identical copy of each of the original cell’s chromosomes. 
4.Telophase - During this phase, chromosomes disappear (become chromatin), nuclear membrane reforms, nucleoli reappears, spindle disappears and centrioles duplicate. 
The correct answer is option D.

How many mitotic divisions are needed for a single cell to make 128 cells?
  • a)
    7
  • b)
    14
  • c)
    28
  • d)
    32
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Ananya Das answered
Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. 
Hence the process of the division will be:
► 1 cell gives 2 daughter cells (1st mitosis)
► 2 cells give 4 daughter cells (2nd mitosis)
► 4 cells give 8 daughter cells (3rd mitosis)
► 8 cells give 16 daughter cells (4th mitosis)
► 16 cells give 32 daughter cells (5th mitosis)
► 32 cells give 64 daughter cells (6th mitosis)
► 64 cells give 128 daughter cells (7th mitosis)
Hence 7 mitotic divisions cell needed for a single cell to make 128 cells.

Which stages of cell division do the figures A and B represent?
  • a)
    A: Metaphase; B: Telophase
  • b)
    A: Late anaphase; B: Prophase

Knowledge Hub answered
  • In Fig.A Chromatids are moving to opposite poles i.e Late anaphase.
  • In Fig.B The duplicated DNA is compactly packed into chromosomes and spindle formation occurs i.e prophase.
Hence, the correct option is B.
NCERT Reference: Topic "Prophase” and “Anaphase” of chapter "Cell cycle and Cell division" of NCERT.

A cell plate is laid during
  • a)
    Cytokinesis
  • b)
    Karyokinesis
  • c)
    Interphase
  • d)
    None of the above
Correct answer is 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Suresh Iyer answered
  • Cytokinesis is the part of the cell division process during which the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell divides into two daughter cells.
  • Cytoplasmic division begins during or after the late stages of nuclear division in mitosis and meiosis.
  • During cytokinesis the spindle apparatus partitions and transports duplicated chromatids into the cytoplasm of the separating daughter cells. It thereby ensures that chromosome number and complement are maintained from one generation to the next and that, except in special cases, the daughter cells will be functional copies of the parent cell. After the completion of the telophase and cytokinesis, each daughter cell enters the interphase of the cell cycle.

Which of the phases of mitosis is the longest?
  • a)
    Telophase
  • b)
    Prophase
  • c)
    Anaphase
  • d)
    Metaphase
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Vijay Bansal answered
Prophase and telophase are stages involved in mitosis or meiosis. During G2 phase division of centrioles, mitochondria and chloroplasts occurs.

 At which stage of mitosis do chromatids separate and pass to different poles?
  • a)
    Anaphase
  • b)
    Telophase
  • c)
    Prophase
  • d)
    Metaphase
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Vijay Bansal answered
Anaphase -The shortest stage of mitosis. The centromeres divide, and the sister chromatids of each chromosome are pulled apart - or 'disjoin' - and move to the opposite ends of the cell, pulled by spindle fibres attached to the kinetochore regions.

 Which is untrue about orbital velocity?
  • a)
    increases with the increase in height of satellite
  • b)
    depends on mass and radius of planet around which it revolves
  • c)
    it is independent of mass of satellite
  • d)
    decreases with an increase in radius of orbit
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Om Desai answered
The untrue statement about orbital velocity is:

1. increases with the increase in height of satellite

Explanation: Orbital velocity is the speed at which an object revolves around a planet or other celestial body in a stable orbit. According to the equation for orbital velocity, v = √(GM/r+h), where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the planet, and r is the radius of the orbit.

As the height of the satellite increases (meaning it gets far to the planet), its h increase , so reasulting in decrease in velocity .

The other statements are true:

2. depends on mass and radius of planet around which it revolves: As mentioned in the equation, orbital velocity depends on both the mass (M) of the planet and the radius (r) of the orbit.

3. it is independent of mass of satellite: The mass of the satellite does not appear in the equation for orbital velocity, so it does not affect the speed at which the satellite orbits the planet.

4. decreases with an increase in radius of orbit: From the equation, we can see that as the radius of the orbit (r) increases, the orbital velocity (v) decreases.

Centromere is required for
  • a)
    Transcription
  • b)
    Cytoplasmic cleavage
  • c)
    Movement of chromosomes towards poles
  • d)
    Crossing over
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Aravind Saha answered
The arms of chromosome are known as chromatids. These arms are held together at a point called the centromere (or primary constriction). Centromere occurs any where along the length of chromosome. During ceIl division spindle fibres are attached to centromere and help in the movement of chromosomes towards the poles.

Cell division is initiated in plants by
  • a)
    Cytokinin
  • b)
    Abscisic acid
  • c)
    Gibberellin
  • d)
    Auxin
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Bansal answered
Mitosis is the mechanism by which the chromosome content of a somatic cell (haploid or diploid) is kept constant through successive cell divisions. The division of the cell is initiated by division of the nucleus i.e. Karyokinesis followed by division of cytoplasm i.e. Cytokinesis.

A satellite which appears to be at a fixed position at a definite height to an observer is called:
  • a)
    Geostationary satellite and geosynchronous satellite
  • b)
    Polar satellite
  • c)
    Geostationary satellite
  • d)
    Geosynchronous satellite
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Neha Joshi answered
As the relative velocity of the satellite with respect to the earth is zero, it appears stationary from the Earth surface and therefore it is called is geostationary satellite or geosynchronous satellite.

 In a cell cycle, during which phase are chromosomes arranged on the equatorial plate?
  • a)
    Metaphase
  • b)
    Prophase
  • c)
    Anaphase
  • d)
    Telophase
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Rohan Singh answered
During metaphase, the chromosomes get arranged in the form of a plate called the equatorial plate or metaphase plate at the equator of the spindle. This plate is at right angles to the axis of the spindle and is formed of the kinetochores, the arms of chromatids trailing away. The centromeres are drawn to the equator by the equal pull of two chromosomal fibres which connect the sister kinetochores to the opposite poles. The process of drawing the chromosomes onto the equator of the spindle is known as congression.

The condition in which q will be equal to ΔH of a system is
  • a)
    constant P and T
  • b)
    constant P and V
  • c)
    constant P, T and V
  • d)
    constant T and V
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Preeti Iyer answered
Under the condition, the heat q of the reaction is equal to the enthalpy change ΔH of the system. Under constant pressure and temperature, the free energy in a reaction is known as Gibbs free energy G.
G = H - TS

Kepler’s second law states that the straight line joining the planet to the sun sweeps out equal areas in equal time. The statement is equivalent to saying that:
  • a)
    longitudnal acceleration is zero
  • b)
    total acceleration is zero
  • c)
    transverse acceleration is zero
  • d)
    radial acceleration is zero
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Suresh Reddy answered
According to the second law the orbital radius and angular velocity of the planet in the elliptical orbit will vary. The planet travels faster when closer to the Sun, then slower when farther from the Sun. Hence we can say that the transverse acceleration is zero while radial and longitudinal accelerations are not zero.

Different planets have different escape velocities because:
  • a)
    different planets have different atmosphere
  • b)
    they have different distances from sun
  • c)
    escape velocity depends on the body that has to escape the atmosphere of the planet
  • d)
    they have different masses and sizes
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Nitin Nair answered
The formula for calculating the escape velocity from the surface of a celestial body (e.g. a planet) is:
where G is the universal gravitation constant, M is the planet’s mass and R is its radius.Different planets have different mass and radius - and therefore different escape velocity.

A satellite moves in a circular orbit around earth. The radius of this orbit is one half that of moon’s orbit. The satellite completes one revolution in:
  • a)
    (2) 3/2 lunar month
  • b)
    (2) 3 lunar month
  • c)
    (2) -3/2 lunar month
  • d)
    (2)1/2 lunar month
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Suresh Reddy answered
We know that the time period of revolution for any object in orbit of radius r is 3
T = 2π (r3 / Gm) 1/2
Where m is the mass of earth.
As the ratio of radius of orbit of satellite to that of moon is 1:2
Hence there time period has a ratio of 1: 23/2

The values of ΔH for endothermic and exothermic reactions are
  • a)
    positive for both
  • b)
    negative for both
  • c)
    positive and negative
  • d)
    negative and positive
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Pooja Shah answered
For endothermic reaction, ∆H = positive value since heat is absorbed during the course of reaction. For exothermic, ∆H = negative value as heat is released during the course of reaction.

What is the relation between ΔH and ΔU ?
  • a)
    ΔH = ΔU
  • b)
    ΔH = ΔU + ΔnRT
  • c)
    ΔH = ΔU – RT
  • d)
    ΔH = ΔU + RT
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Nandini Iyer answered
Enthalpy is a state function, and the change in enthalpy of a system is equal to the sum of the change in the internal energy of the system ΔH = ΔU + ΔnRT and the PV work done. Enthalpy is a state function whose change indicates the amount of heat transferred from a system to its surroundings or vice versa, at constant pressure.
