The four stages of each cell division are (i) prophase, (ii) metaphase, (iii) anaphase and (iv) telophase ‘@. Mitosis is also known as equational division since the number of chromosomes and DNA in daughter cells are equal to parent cell e Meiosis is also known as reduction division since the four daughter cells bear half the number of chromosomes that of the mother cell # The two divisions of meiosis may be summed up as (a) Meiosis 1 : reductional division or heterotypic division. (b) Meiosis IL : equational division or homotypie division. Growth is an increase in size or mass of a developing or living system. Aster is a bundle of microtubule fibres radiating out from each pole of a cell during cell division, Bivalent refers to a pair of homologous chromosomes when they pair up during meiosis. Tetrad is the group of four sister chromatids inside the homologous chromosome pair. Centrioles are two self:replicating, cylindrical collection of microtubules in the cytoplasm near the nucleus of ise spindle fibres for cell division, jimal cells which orga Chiasma refers to that area where crossing over has taken place during prophase of meiosis |. ‘© During the S-phase or synthetic phase of interphase, replication of DNA and synthesis of histone proteins occurs, ¢ During prophase, the formation of the spindle or mitotic apparatus occurs which is the most conspicuous change in the cytopl The first sign of cleavage in animal cells is puekering and furrowing of the plasma membrane. ‘© Crossing over is the mechanism of recombination of the genes due to interchange of chromosomal segments at the time of pairing. es found in the nucleus of each cell Chromosomes are small, thick, rod-like struct The long, thin, dark stained fibres inside the nucleus are called chromatin fibres. Chromosomes are 1 jade up of DNA and histones. In diploid cells, there are two kinds of chromosomes - Autosomes and Sex-chromosomes, . @ One nucleosome consists of eight histone proteins with DNA strand. In human beings each cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, nan is called sex-chromosomes. 23rd pair of chromosomes in hi Govals ICSE Biology-10 Question Bank with MIP for First Semester Examination T© Chromosomes determine the sex and control the cell metabolism. © The DNA strand is made up of nucleotides.
