ASSERTION REASON QUESTIONS

Directions : These questions consist of two statements, each printed as Assertion and Reason.While answering these questions, you are required to choose any one of the following five responses.
(a) If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
(b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
(c) If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
(d) If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
(e) If the Assertion is incorrect but the Reason is correct.

Question. Assertion: Meiosis results in production of haploid cells.
Reason: Synapses occurs during leptotene.
Answer. C

Directions : Each of these questions contains an Assertion followed by Reason. Read them carefully and answer the question on the basis of following options. You have to select the one that best describes the two statements.
(a) If both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
(b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
(c) If Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
(d) If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Question. Assertion : Meiosis II is known as equational or homotypic division. 
Reason : Meiosis II produces same number of chromosome in cell.
Answer. A

Question. Assertion : Interphase is resting stage.
Reason : The interphase cell is metabolically inactive. 
Answer. C

Question. Assertion : During zygotene, chromosomes show bivalent stage.
Reason : Bivalent is half the number of chromosomes. 
Answer. B

Question. Assertion : The stage between two mitotic divisions is called interkinesis.
Reason : Interkinesis is generally short lived.
Answer. D

Question. Assertion : Diplotene is characterized by the presence of chiasmata.
Reason : Diplotene can last for months and years in oocytes of some vertebrates.
Answer. B

 

 

Answer. A cell formed by the division or budding of another is called daughter cell.

 

Answer. Growth and reproduction are the characteristics of cells of all living organisms.

 

Answer.There are 16 chromosomes in each cell.

 

Answer. DNA synthesis occurs only during one specific stage in the cell cycle.

 

Answer. DNA replication begins in the nucleus and the centriole duplicates in the cytoplasm.
