SECTION-C

7. Case study based questions:

Mitosis and Meiosis are two types of cell division. Mitosis is also called equational division and is
sub-divided into four phases. Each phase is characterized by some specific events. Karyokinesis is
followed by Cytokinesis which is of different type in plant and animal cells.

Based on above answer the following questions:

a) Why mitosis is called equational division?

b) At which phase centromere splits and chromatids separate?
c) Define kinetochore. What is its function.
d) How cytokinesis differs in plant and animal cells?
e) What is G0 (quiescent phase) of cell cycle? (5)
