CPS WORKSHEET No-1 STRUCTURE OF CHROMOSOMES,

CELL CYCLE AND CELL DIVISION

I. Name the following:

1. The process by which cell divides into two daughter cells.
2. Replacement of cells is accomplished by which process.
3. The kind of cell division seen in the tip of root and shoot system.
4. The structure responsible for initiating cell division in animals.
5. The process responsible for variations.
6. Stage in which crossing over takes place
7. Separation of sister chromatids take place at which stage.
8. The stage during which nuclear membrane reappear.
9. Result of uncontrolled cell division.
10. The largest phase of a cell cycle.

II.Give the technical term for the following:

1. The period between two successive mitotic division.
2. The process of cytoplasmic division.
3. The phase of cell cycle during which cell grows.
4. Division of nucleus.
5. The point at which the chromatids of homologous chromosomes overlap.

III.State the location of:

1. Asters 2. Cell plate 3. Chromosomes 4. Nucleotide

IV. Differentiate between

1. Cytokinesis and karyokinesis
2. Chiasmata and centromere.
3. Cytokinesis in plant and animal cell.

V. Give Reasons:
1. Meiosis is called Reduction division.
2. The number of chromosomes in sex cells is halved.

VI. Answer these questions:

1. Identify the stages of mitosis given below and label the figures.

2. Study the diagram given below which represents a stage during the mitotic cell
division and answer the questions that follow:

1
i) Identify the stage and give suitable reasons
ii) Name the parts 1 and 2
iii) What is the technical term for the division of nucleus.
iv) Name the stage which comes before the stage shown in the diagram. Draw a
neat labelled diagram of the stage mentioned.
v) Which is the cell division that results in half the number of chromosomes in
daughter cells.

3. The given figure shows a cell. Study the figure and then answer the questions
that follow:

i) Identify the stage of cell cycle depicted by the cell.

ii) Write any two characteristics of this phase.
iii) What are the main events that take place when cell goes into the next
stage.

4. The Diagram shows a double helical structure of DNA.

i) Name the four nitrogenous bases that form a DNA molecule.

ii) What is the full form of DNA.
iii) What are nucleotides?
iv) Who gave the double helical structure of DNA?
v) To which molecules do the DNA strands wind around?

5. The Diagram represents four stages of cell division which are not in a
sequence. Study the diagrams and then answer the questions carefully.

2
i) Re-draw the diagrams in your answer sheet in a sequential order.
ii) Name the stages after arranging them in a correct order.
iii) Label any 4 parts which are visible in the diagrams.
iv) Is it a plant cell or animal cell? Give a logic reason.
