During mitosis ER and nucleolus begin to disappear at:
| 1. | late prophase |
| 2. | early metaphase |
| 3. | late metaphase |
| 4. | early prophase |
Which stages of cell division do the following figures A and B represent respectively?
| 1. | Metaphase- Telophase | 2. | Telophase- Metaphase |
| 3. | Late anaphase- Prophase | 4. | Prophase- Anaphase |
| 1. | Chromatids start moving towards opposite poles in telophase. |
| 2. | Golgi complex and endoplasmic reticulum are still visible at the end of prophase. |
| 3. | Chromosomes move to the spindle equator and get aligned along the equatorial plate in metaphase. |
| 4. | Chromatids separate but remain in the center of the cell in anaphase. |
A stage in cell division is shown in the figure. Select the answer which gives the correct identification of the stage with its characteristics:
|
1. |
Late anaphase |
Chromosomes move away from the equatorial plate, Golgi complex not present |
|
2. |
Cytokinesis |
Cell plate formed, mitochondria distributed between two daughter cells |
|
3. |
Telophase |
Endoplasmic reticulum and nucleolus not reformed yet |
|
4. |
Telophase |
Nuclear envelop reforms, Golgi complex reforms |

| 2. | Condensation, crossing over, nuclear membrane disassembly, segregation, telophase |
| 3. | Condensation, centromere division, segregation, arrangement at the equator, telophase |
| 4. | Condensation, nuclear membrane disassembly, crossing over, segregation, telophase |
Anaphase Promoting Complex (APC) is 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?
