Class 12 Biology Chapter 20 – Cell Cycle MCQs | FBISE | Grade 12 Biology
Description: Practice 50 exam-oriented MCQs from Class 12 Biology Chapter 20 – Cell Cycle, covering the cell cycle, interphase, mitosis, meiosis, chromosome behavior, cell division, and biological significance.
1. The cell cycle is the sequence of events occurring between
2. The cell cycle includes interphase and
3. Interphase is divided into G1, S and
4. During G1 phase, the cell mainly
5. DNA replication occurs during the
6. During G2 phase, the cell mainly
7. The phase in which nuclear division occurs is called
8. Mitosis produces daughter cells that are usually
9. Mitosis is important for growth and
10. The first stage of mitosis is
11. During prophase, chromosomes become
12. During prophase, the mitotic spindle begins to
13. The nuclear envelope generally breaks down during
14. During metaphase, chromosomes align at the
15. Chromosomes are attached to spindle fibres through structures at their
16. During anaphase of mitosis,
17. During telophase, chromosomes generally
18. Cytokinesis is the division of the
19. In animal cells, cytokinesis occurs mainly by formation of a
20. In plant cells, cytokinesis involves formation of a
21. The two daughter cells produced by normal mitosis generally have
22. A chromosome consisting of two identical copies is composed of
23. Sister chromatids are joined at the
24. Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces
25. Meiosis involves
26. DNA replication in meiosis occurs
27. Meiosis I is often called the
28. Meiosis II resembles mitosis because
29. During prophase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes
30. The pairing of homologous chromosomes is called
31. A paired structure formed by homologous chromosomes during prophase I is called a
32. Crossing over occurs between
33. Crossing over results in
34. The visible point where crossing over occurs is called a
35. During metaphase I, homologous chromosome pairs align at the
36. During anaphase I,
37. During meiosis I, sister chromatids generally
38. At the end of meiosis I, the chromosome number is
39. During anaphase II,
40. The final result of meiosis is generally
41. Meiosis is essential for
42. Independent assortment occurs because homologous chromosome pairs can
43. Genetic variation produced by meiosis is important for
44. A checkpoint in the cell cycle helps ensure that
45. Uncontrolled cell division may result in
46. Programmed cell death is called
47. A major function of cell-cycle control is to
48. Cancer cells commonly show
49. The process that ensures genetic material is distributed to daughter cells is
50. The cell cycle is important because it coordinates growth, DNA replication and
