(2) terminate the cell cycle
(3) exit the cell cycle
(4) enter the cell cycle

(1) Respiration in bacteria
(2) Formation of secretory vesicles
(3) Fatty acid breakdown
(4) Activation of amino acid

 Cell Cycle and Cell Division Questions from NEET 2017
1. Which of the following options give the correct sequence of events during mitosis?
(1) Condensation – nuclear membrane disassembly – arrangement of equator – centromere division –
segraration – telophase
(2) Condensation – crossing over – nuclear membrane disassembly – segregation – telophase
(3) Condensation – arrangement of equator – contromere division – segregation – telophase
(4) Condensation – nuclear membrane disassembly – crossing over – segregation – telophase

2. Anaphrase Promoting Complex (APC) is a protein degradation machinery necessary for proper
mitosis of animal cells. If APC is defective in a human cell, which of the following is expected to
occur?
(1) Chromosomes will be fragmented
(2) Chromosomes will not segregate

Cell Cycle and Cell Division Questions from NEET 2016
1. In meiosis crossing over is initiated at:
(1) Pachytene
(2) Leptotene
(3) Zygotene
(4) Diplotene

2. A cell at telophase stage is observed by a student in a plant brought from the field. He tells his
teacher that this cell is not like other cells at telophase stage. There is no formation of cell plate and
thus the cell is containing more number of chromosomes as compared to other dividing cells. This
would result in:
(1) Aneuploidy
(2) Polyploidy
(3) Somaclonal variation
(4) Polyteny
