Taking L.H.S:
AUB = {1, 2, 3, 4} U {2, 4, 6, 8}
AUB = (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8)

A∩B = {1, 2, 3, 4} ∩ {2, 4, 6, 8}
A∩B = (2, 4)
AUB - A∩B = (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8) - (2, 4)
We get AUB - A∩B = {1, 3, 6, 8} ....... (2)

  4. Chaismata
  5. Chromatids
  6. Diakinesis
  7. Terminalization
  8. Necrosis
  9. Crossing over
  10. Centromere
Ans: i. Pachytene:
  • It is the third sub-stage of Propahse I of meiosis I, followed by Zygotene.
  • The synaptic forces of attraction between each bivalent decrease and the chromosomes uncoil and separate.
  • The separation is however incomplete and paired chromosomes are in contact with each other at one or more points, called Chiasmata.
  • Each homologous chromosome split longitudinally except in the centromere region.
  • Now each bivalent is composed of four chromatids and therefore is known as bivalent tetrad.

ii. Cytokinesis:
The division of cytoplasm is called cytokinesis. It continues with the last stage of nucleus division in mitosis and meiosis. Soon the cytoplasm of the cell also divides and two daughter cells are formed. Thus telophase may or may not be accompanied by cytokinesis and daughter cell formation.
OR
Cytokinesis is the part of the cell division process during which the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell divides into two daughter cells. Cytoplasmic division begins during or after the last stage of nuclear division in mitosis and meiosis.

iii. Bivalent:
During second sub-stage i.e Zygotene of prophase I of meiosis I, the Homologous (Similar structure) chromosomes, which comes from the mother (by ovum) and father (by sperm) are attracted towards each other and their lengthwise pairing takes place. The pairing of homologous chromosomes is known as synapsis, while the paired homologous chromosomes are known as bivalent.
OR
During prophase I of meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair and from synapses. The paired chromosomes are called bivalents. The bivalent has two chromosomes and four chromatids, with the chromosome coming from each parents

iv. Chiasma:
In sub-stages of meiosis I, the synaptic forces of attraction between each bivalent decrease and the chromosomes uncoil and separate. The separation is however incomplete and paired chromosomes are in contact with each other at one or more points, called Chiasmata. The homologous chromosomes exchange their parts of chromatid at Chiasmata.
OR
A chiasma is the point of contact, the physical link, between two chromatids belonging to homologous chromosomes. At a given chiasma, an exchange of genetic material can occur between both chromatids.

v. Chromatids Or Sister Chromatids:
In the beginning of cell-division each chromosome is consist of two genetically identical copies of thread attach with each other called chromatids or sister chromatids. They contain hereditary material called gene (DNA).
OR
A chromatid is one half of a duplicate chromosome. Before replication, one chromosome is composed of one DNA molecule. In replication, the DNA molecule is copied, and the two molecules are known as chromatids.
OR
Each of the two thread like strand into which a chromosome divides longitudinally during cell division is called chromatid. Each contains a double helix of DNA.

vi. Diakinesis:
  • It is the final sub-stage of Propahse I of meiosis I, followed by diplotene.
  • During this sub stage; nucleoli and nuclear membrane are disappeared, whereas Mitotic Apparatus (spindle) is completed.
  • Chiasmata moves from the centromere towards the ends of the chromosomes like a zipper. This type of movement of chiasmata is known as Terminalization.
  • At the end of Diakinesis chromatids still remain compacted at their ends.

vii. Terminalization:
During the Diakinesis, final sub-phase of prophase I of meiosis, Chiasmata moves from the centromere towards the ends of the chromosomes like a zipper. This type of movement of chiasmata is known as Terminalization.

viii. Necrosis:
The type of cell death which is caused by external factors i.e infection, toxin and tumor i.e accidental cell death, is known as necrosis.

ix. Crossing Over:
The homologous chromosomes exchange their parts of chromatid at Chiasmata. This exchange of segments of chromatids at chiasmata between the homologous chromosomes is called Crossing Over.

x. Centromere:
The region or point in which the chromatids are linked together are called centromere. The centromere is the specialized DNA sequence of a chromosome that links a pair of sister chromatids (a dyad). During mitosis, spindle fibers attach to the centromere via the kinetochore. Centromeres were first thought to be genetic loci that direct the behavior of chromosomes.

4. Distinguish between the following in tabulated form:
  1. Prophase and Prophase-I
  2. Prophase and Telophase
  3. Apoptosis and Necrosis

Ans: i. Difference between Prophase and Prophase I
S.No. Prophase Prophase I
1. It is a phase of mitosis. It Is a phase of meiosis.
2. It is a short phase and occurs only once and is not divided in any sub-phase. It Is a long phase and is divided into the sub phases.
3. Pair formation (synapsis) in between homologous chromosomes does not occur as there is no attraction between them. Pair formation (synapsis) due to attraction occurs in between homologous chromosomes.
4. Chiasma is not formed. Chiasma is formed.
5. Crossing over does not occur. Crossing over occurs.
6. Part exchange does not occur in the chromosome. So gene arrangement remains unchanged. Part exchange occurs, which changes the gene arrangement of the chromosomes.

Difference between Prophase and Teloohase
S.No. Prophase Telophase
1. Prophase is the first stage of karyokinesis during mitosis Telophase is the final stage of karyokinesis during meiosis and mitosis
2. In prophase the chromatin condenses to form the chromosomes In telophase the daughter chromosomes enlongate and overlap each other to form chromatin.
3. Spindle fibres appear around the poles. Spindle fibres disappear around the poles.
4. Nuclear envelope and nucleolus degenerate (disappear) completely. Nuclear envelope and nucleoli reappear and two daughter nuclei are formed.
5. Cell organelles disorganized and there is no difference between the cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. Cell organelles are reformed and nucleoplasm appears in chromatin making it distinct from other cytoplasmic area.
6. In prophase the nuclear content is not initiated to be distributed. In telophase the nuclear content get equally distributed to become the part of daughter cells.
7. The viscosity of cytoplasm increases. The viscosity of cytoplasm decreases.

Difference between Apoptosis and Necrosis
S.No. Apoptosis Necrosis
1. Apoptosis is a programmed cell death Necrosis is the premature death of cells.
2. It is always natural. It is pathological and is caused by factors external to the cell or tissue, such as infection, toxins or trauma.
3. It is genetically controlled. It is not genetically controlled.
4. It is highly time regulated event. It is an unregulated event.
5. They do not require any treatment.  They always require proper treatment.
6. It is usually beneficial to the organism. They are determinal to the organism.
7. Nucleus gets fragmented Nucleus gets disorganized
8. Chromatin condensation is a hallmark of apoptosis. No chromatin condensation occurs

5. Write short answers of following questions:
(i) Why meiosis-I is called reduction division?
Ans: Meiosis is called reduction division because it reduces the number of chromosomes from diploid to haploid i.e. it gets reduced from 2N to IN (e.g. 46 to 23 chromosomes in human being) so as to maintain the species specific number 46 chromosomes(23 pairs) from generation to generation.

(ii) Why mitosis is necessary for growth?
Ans: Mitosis is a way of making more cells that are genetically the same as the parent cell. It plays an important part in the development of embryos, and it is important for the growth and development of our bodies as well. Mitosis produces new cells, and replaces cells that are old; lost or damaged.
OR
Mitosis is necessary for growth as it is responsible for development and growth of organisms by increasing number of exact copies of cells. It enables the organisms to grow from a single cell to a complex multicellular organism. Cell replacement is also done by mitosis.

(iii) How number of chromosomes remains constant from generation to generation?
Ans: Constant number of chromosomes:
Meiosis maintains chromosome number constant from generation to generation. It is due to the fact that meiosis reduces the diploid number of chromosomes to half i.e. haploid in the gametes. During fertilization the diploid number of the chromosomes is restored. e.g. There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in human cell which remain constant.

(iv) Why interphase is called as phase of high metabolic activities?
Ans: Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle. It includes sub-stages the G1 (the cell grows), S (replicates its DNA) and G2 (prepares for mitosis). G1 the sub-phase of interphase is called as phase of high metabolic activities because it is the period of extensive metabolic activity, in which:
Cell grows in size, specific enzymes are synthesized and DNA base units are accumulated for the DNA synthesis.

(v) Why interphase between meiosis-I and meiosis-II is short?
Ans: Interphase is a short period of interphase before meiosis II, if it occurs. Interphase is a stage associated with replication of DNA, and growth. Once meiosis II starts, the purpose is to produce a haploid gamete. So there is no further need of replication or growth. Hence between meiosis I and meiosis II, interphase is short.

6. Write detailed answers of the following questions:
(i) Describe various stages of mitosis with suitable diagrams.
Ans: MITOSIS:
In this type of cell division a parent cell divides into two daughter cells in a way that the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells remains the same as in the parent cell. i.e. diploid mother cell producing diploid somatic (daughter) cell.

Phases Of Mitosis:
Although mitosis is a continuous process, but for the study point of view we can divide it into two phases
  • (a) Karyokinesis - nuclear division
  • (b) Cytokinesis - cytoplasmic division

(a) The karyokinesis:
It can be divided further for convenience into four phases which are:
  1. Prophase
  2. Metaphase
  3. Anaphase and
  4. Telophase

1. Prophase:
  1. During early prophase chromatin material condenses and become visible as thick coiled, thread like structures called chromosomes.
  2. Each chromosome at this stage is already double, consists of two chromatids.
  3. The chromatids are attached to each other at centromere.
  4. The nuclear membrane and nucleolus gradually disappears.
  5. At the same time centrosome divides to form two centrioles, each moves towards the opposite pole of the animal cell and forms the star shaped aster and spindle fibres.
  6. In plant cells, the centrioles and asters are absent.

Metaphase:
  1. During this phase each chromosome arranges itself on the equator of the spindle and becomes more visible.
  2. Each chromosome is attached to separate spindle fibre by its centromere, from each pole..

Anaphase:
  1. In this phase the spindle fibre contract.
  2. Centromere of a chromosome divides and the chromatids of each chromosome separates from each other and begin to move towards the other poles.
  3. In this way one set of the chromatids (each chromatid is now an independent chromosome) move towards one pole while the other set towards the other pole.

Telophase:
  1. This is a stage when the chromatids (now called chromosomes) reach at the respective poles and their movement ceases.
  2. Each pole receives the same number of chromosomes.
  3. The nuclear membrane is reformed around each set of chromosomes.
  4. Nucleolus also reappears.
  5. In this way two daughter nuclei formed in each cell. Each daughter nucleus has the same number of chromosomes as were present in the parent cell.

(b) Cytokinesis:
  1. The division of cytoplasm is called cytokinesis. It continues with the last stage of nucleus division.
  2. Soon the cytoplasm of the cell also divides and two daughter cells are formed.
  3. Events In Animal Cell:
    * In animal cell cytokinesis takes place by developing a constriction in the middle between the two nuclei.
    * This constriction become deep to divide cytoplasm in two equal halves.
    * As a result two daughter cells are formed.
  4. Events In Plant Cell:
    In plant cells cytokinesis occurs by developing cell plate (cell wall) in the center of the cell (equatorial region).
    * This wall extends towards the periphery of the cell and finally completes the formation of two daughter cells.
  5. In this way the daughter cells become the exact copies of their parent cell.


(ii) Describe stages of meiosis-I with suitable diagrams.
Ans: Meiosis I (First Meiotic Division) First meiotic division is the reduction division during which the chromosomes number is reduced to half. Meiosis I consists of:
  • Prophase I
  • Metaphase I
  • Anaphase I and
  • Telophase I

Prophase I:
It consists of the longest phase of meiosis. It can be subdivided into following sub stages:
  1. Leptotene
  2. Zygotene
  3. Pachytene
  4. Diplotene
  5. Diakinesis

1. Leptotene:
During this sub stage following changes occur;
  • The chromatin network break into specific number of long thin beaded thread called leptotene.
  • Each thread has two morphologically similar leptene in each cell called homologous structure.

2. Zygotene:
  • During this sub stage the Homologous (Similar structure) chromosomes, which comes from the mother (by ovum) and father (by sperm) are attracted towards each other and their lengthwise pairing takes place.
  • The pairing of homologous chromosomes is known as synapsis, while the paired homologous chromosomes are known as bivalent.

3. Pachytene:
  • The synaptic forces of attraction between each bivalent decrease and the chromosomes uncoil and separate.
  • The separation is however incomplete and paired chromosomes are in contact with each other at one or more points, called Chiasmata.
  • Each homologous chromosome split longitudinally except in the centromere region.
  • Now each bivalent is composed of four chromatids and therefore is known as bivalent tetrad.

4. Diplotene:
  • The homologous chromosomes exchange their parts of chromatid at Chiasmata.
  • This exchange of segments of chromatids at chiasmata between the homologous chromosomes is called Crossing Over.

5. Diakinesis:
  • During this sub stage; nucleoli and nuclear membrane are disappeared, whereas Mitotic Apparatus (spindle) is completed.
  • Chiasmata moves from the centromere towards the ends of the chromosomes like a zipper.
  • This type of movement of chiasmata is known as Terminalization.
  • At the end of Diakinesis chromatids still remain compacted at their ends.
(Note: Below Diagram is only for explanation)👇

Metaphase I:
Following changes occur in this phase:
  • The bivalent line up at the equatorial plane.
  • The centromere of each chromosome attaches with same fibres of spindle.

Anaphase I:
  • At this stage one chromosome from each member of homologous pair (bivalent) begins to separate and move towards its respective pole by the contraction of spindle fibers.
  • The actual reduction occurs at this stage because half the number of chromosomes moves to each pole.
  • Moreover as a result of crossing over the two chromatids of a chromosome do not resemble with each other in the genetic terms.

Telophase I:
  • The nuclear membrane form around the chromosomes at each pole and chromosomes become uncoil.
  • The nucleolus reappears and thus two daughter nuclei formed.

Cytokinesis:
Telophase may or may not be accompanied by cytokinesis and daughter cells formation.

In the beginning of cell-division each chromosome is consist of two genetically identical copies of thread attach with each other called chromatids or sister chromatids.

Q.4: Briefly describe the formation of chromosome.
Ans: Formation of chromosome:
Each chromosomes in eukaryotes are composed of chromatin fiber, which is made of nucleosomes.  Chromatin fibers are packaged by proteins (histones) into a condensed structure called chromatin. Chromatin allows the very long  and complex DNA molecules to fit into the cell nucleus. There is also less amount of RNA present.
During cell division chromatin condenses further to form microscopically visible chromosomes. The structure of chromosomes varies through the cell cycle. During cell cycle chromatin material replicate, divide and passed successfully to their daughter cells for survival of their progeny. Some time cell-division is also responsible for genetic diversity.

Q.5: Define cell cycle and its phases? Draw labelled diagram of cell cycle?
Ans: CELL CYCLE:
"The sequence of changes which occurs between one cell division and the next is called Cell Cycle.”
The cell cycle undergoes a sequence of changes, which involve period of growth, replication of DNA followed by cell division. This sequence of changes is called cell cycle.

PHASES OF CELL CYCLE:
It has two phases:
  1. Interphase: which is the period of non-division.
    The period of cell cycle between two consecutive divisions is called Interphase. It is a period of growth and synthesis of DNA. During this period the cell prepares itself for the M- phase.
    The Interphase is divided further into three sub-phase:
    1. G1 - phase OR (Gap one) phase
    2. S - phase OR (Synthesis) phase
    3. G2 -phase OR (Gap one) phase

  2. M-phase: which is a period of cell division. There are two types of cell division.
    i. Mitosis
    ii. Meiosis

CELL CYCLE


Q.6: Define interphase and its sub-phases?
Ans: INTERPHASE:
The period of cell cycle between two consecutive divisions is called Interphase. It is a period of growth and synthesis of DNA. During this period the cell prepares itself for the M- phase.

Sub-Phases Of Interphase:
The Interphase is divided further into three sub-phase:
  1. G1 - phase
  2. S - phase
  3. G2 -phase

1. G1-(Gap one) phase:
It is the period of extensive metabolic activity, in which:
  • Cell grows in size, specific enzymes are synthesized and DNA base units are accumulated for the DNA synthesis.
  • At a point in G1, the cell may enter into a phase called G0 (G-knot) where cell cycle stop. It remains for days, weeks or in some cases even for the life time of the organism.

2. S-(Synthesis) phase:
During this phase, replication of DNA occurs. As a result of it chromatin material is duplicated.

3. G2–(Gap two) phase: (Pre-Mitotic Phase):
The following changes occur during this phase:
  • Cell grows in size
  • cell organelles are replicate in numbers as well as enzyme require for cell-division also synthesized during this phase.

Q.7: Define Mitosis? Describe the phases of mitosis. Draw a neat and labelled diagram?
Ans: MITOSIS:
In this type of cell division a parent cell divides into two daughter cells in a way that the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells remains the same as in the parent cell. i.e. diploid mother cell producing diploid somatic (daughter) cell.

Phases Of Mitosis:
Although mitosis is a continuous process, but for the study point of view we can divide it into two phases
  • (a) Karyokinesis - nuclear division
  • (b) Cytokinesis - cytoplasmic division

(a) The karyokinesis:
It can be divided further for convenience into four phases which are:
  1. Prophase
  2. Metaphase
  3. Anaphase and
  4. Telophase

1. Prophase:
  1. During early prophase chromatin material condenses and become visible as thick coiled, thread like structures called chromosomes.
  2. Each chromosome at this stage is already double, consists of two chromatids.
  3. The chromatids are attached to each other at centromere.
  4. The nuclear membrane and nucleolus gradually disappears.
  5. At the same time centrosome divides to form two centrioles, each moves towards the opposite pole of the animal cell and forms the star shaped aster and spindle fibres.
  6. In plant cells, the centrioles and asters are absent.

Metaphase:
  1. During this phase each chromosome arranges itself on the equator of the spindle and becomes more visible.
  2. Each chromosome is attached to separate spindle fibre by its centromere, from each pole..

Anaphase:
  1. In this phase the spindle fibre contract.
  2. Centromere of a chromosome divides and the chromatids of each chromosome separates from each other and begin to move towards the other poles.
  3. In this way one set of the chromatids (each chromatid is now an independent chromosome) move towards one pole while the other set towards the other pole.

Telophase:
  1. This is a stage when the chromatids (now called chromosomes) reach at the respective poles and their movement ceases.
  2. Each pole receives the same number of chromosomes.
  3. The nuclear membrane is reformed around each set of chromosomes.
  4. Nucleolus also reappears.
  5. In this way two daughter nuclei formed in each cell. Each daughter nucleus has the same number of chromosomes as were present in the parent cell.

(b) Cytokinesis:
  1. The division of cytoplasm is called cytokinesis. It continues with the last stage of nucleus division.
  2. Soon the cytoplasm of the cell also divides and two daughter cells are formed.
  3. Events In Animal Cell:
    * In animal cell cytokinesis takes place by developing a constriction in the middle between the two nuclei.
    * This constriction become deep to divide cytoplasm in two equal halves.
    * As a result two daughter cells are formed.
  4. Events In Plant Cell:
    In plant cells cytokinesis occurs by developing cell plate (cell wall) in the center of the cell (equatorial region).
    * This wall extends towards the periphery of the cell and finally completes the formation of two daughter cells.
  5. In this way the daughter cells become the exact copies of their parent cell.


Q.8: Write down importance or significance of mitosis?
Ans: Importance Or Significance Of Mitosis:
Mitosis plays an important role in the life of an organism.
  • It occurs in all type of somatic cell.
  • It is responsible for development and growth of organisms by increasing exact copies of cells.
  • With few exception all kinds of asexual reproduction and vegetative propagation take place by mitosis.
  • The production of new somatic cells, such as blood cells depends on mitosis.
  • The healing of wounds, repair of wear and tear within organism is also dependent upon the mitotic division.

Q.9: What do you know about cell death Or Is cell death is beneficial? Define ways of cell death?
Ans: CELL DEATH:
Cell in an organism depends upon various extra cellular signals for its regulated and controlled activities. It means all the activities even the death of cells is programmed.
Programmed cell death helps in proper control of multicellular development, which may lead to deletion of entire structure, e.g. the tail of developing human embryo, or some part an organ which is more required like tissue between developing digits.

Ways Of Cell Death:
There are two ways of cell death in Multicellular organisms:
  1. Apoptosis
  2. Necrosis
1. APOPTOSIS or Self - Destruction (Autophagy):
“Programmed change which lead to sequence of physiological changes in cell by which cells commit suicide collectively called Apoptosis”.

2. NECROSIS:
This type of cell death which is caused by external factors i.e infection, toxin and tumor i.e accidental cell death.

Q.10: Define meiosis? Briefly describe the phases of meiosis.
Ans: MEIOSIS (Reduction Division):
Meiosis is a type of cell division in which single cell divides into four daughter cells and number of chromosomes becomes half in each daughter cell.
  • In animal, meiosis takes place in germ cell to produce gametes i.e. Sperms and Eggs
  • In plants, it takes place in spore mother cells (S.M.C) to produce spores.

PHASES OF MEIOSIS:
Events of Meiosis:
Meiosis is a series of two divisions:
  1. MEIOSIS I and
  2. MEIOSIS II
which result in the formation of four haploid cells.

Meiosis I (First Meiotic Division)

First meiotic division is the reduction division during which the chromosomes number is reduced to half. Meiosis I consists of:
  • Prophase I
  • Metaphase I
  • Anaphase I and
  • Telophase I

Prophase I:
It consists of the longest phase of meiosis. It can be subdivided into following sub stages:
  1. Leptotene
  2. Zygotene
  3. Pachytene
  4. Diplotene
  5. Diakinesis

1. Leptotene:
During this sub stage following changes occur;
  • The chromatin network break into specific number of long thin beaded thread called leptotene.
  • Each thread has two morphologically similar leptene in each cell called homologous structure.

2. Zygotene:
  • During this sub stage the Homologous (Similar structure) chromosomes, which comes from the mother (by ovum) and father (by sperm) are attracted towards each other and their lengthwise pairing takes place.
  • The pairing of homologous chromosomes is known as synapsis, while the paired homologous chromosomes are known as bivalent.

3. Pachytene:
  • The synaptic forces of attraction between each bivalent decrease and the chromosomes uncoil and separate.
  • The separation is however incomplete and paired chromosomes are in contact with each other at one or more points, called Chiasmata.
  • Each homologous chromosome split longitudinally except in the centromere region.
  • Now each bivalent is composed of four chromatids and therefore is known as bivalent tetrad.

4. Diplotene:
  • The homologous chromosomes exchange their parts of chromatid at Chiasmata.
  • This exchange of segments of chromatids at chiasmata between the homologous chromosomes is called Crossing Over.

5. Diakinesis:
  • During this sub stage; nucleoli and nuclear membrane are disappeared, whereas Mitotic Apparatus (spindle) is completed.
  • Chiasmata moves from the centromere towards the ends of the chromosomes like a zipper.
  • This type of movement of chiasmata is known as Terminalization.
  • At the end of Diakinesis chromatids still remain compacted at their ends.
(Note: Below Diagram is only for explanation)👇

Metaphase I:
Following changes occur in this phase:
  • The bivalent line up at the equatorial plane.
  • The centromere of each chromosome attaches with same fibres of spindle.

Anaphase I:
  • At this stage one chromosome from each member of homologous pair (bivalent) begins to separate and move towards its respective pole by the contraction of spindle fibers.
  • The actual reduction occurs at this stage because half the number of chromosomes moves to each pole.
  • Moreover as a result of crossing over the two chromatids of a chromosome do not resemble with each other in the genetic terms.

Telophase I:
  • The nuclear membrane form around the chromosomes at each pole and chromosomes become uncoil.
  • The nucleolus reappears and thus two daughter nuclei formed.

Cytokinesis:
Telophase may or may not be accompanied by cytokinesis and daughter cells formation.

STAGES OR PHASES OF Meiosis I (First Meiotic Division)



OR
(Note: Below Diagram is only for explanation)👇

Interphase:
  • Following Telophase I (If this stage occurs), there is a short period called Interphase before meiosis II.
  • It is similar to Interphase between Mitotic divisions except that DNA replication does not occur.
  • Replication of DNA is unnecessary because each chromosome already has two chromatids.

Meiosis II (Second Meiotic Division)

The second meiotic division is actually the mitotic division which divides each haploid cell formed during meiosis I into two daughter haploid cells.
The second meiotic division includes:
  1. Prophase II
  2. Metaphase II
  3. Anaphase II
  4. Telophase II

1. Prophase II:
  • The spindle Fibres are formed.
  • The nuclear membrane and the nucleolus disappear.

2. Metaphase II:
  • The chromosomes are attached to half spindle fibers by their centromere and get arranged at equatorial plane.
  • Each chromosome attach with separate fiber of spindle.

3. Anaphase II:
  • The spindle fibers attached to the centromeres shorten and the chromatids of chromosomes are pulled away from one another.
  • This movement continues until one complete set of chromosomes is positioned at each pole of the cell.

4. Telophase II:
  • The spindle fibers disappear completely and chromosomes begin to uncoil.
  • They become longer and indistinct and form group at each pole.
  • Around each group nuclear envelope is formed.

Cytokinesis:
After the kayrokinesis in each haploid meiotic cell the cytokinesis i.e. division of cytoplasm occurs and thus four haploid cells are formed.

STAGES OR PHASES OF Meiosis Ii (Second Meiotic Division


OR
(Note: Below Diagram is only for explanation)👇

Q.11: What happens in absence of meiosis?
Ans: In the absence of meiosis number of chromosomes would have been doubled giving rise to abnormal growth, changes in species characteristics and or may prove fatal.

Q.12: What are the significance of meiosis?
Ans: Significance of Meiosis:
  1. Constant number of chromosomes:
    Meiosis maintains chromosome number constant from generation to generation. It is due to the fact that meiosis reduces the diploid number of chromosomes to half i.e. haploid in the gametes. During fertilization the diploid number of the chromosomes is restored.

  2. Responsible for genetic variation among species:
    By crossing over, the meiosis provides an opportunity for the exchange of the genes between homologous chromosome and thus cause the genetic variations among the species. The variations are the raw material of the evolutionary process.

Q.13: What do you mean by Meiotic error OR Explain phenomenom of non-disjunction.
Ans: Meiotic errors - Non-Disjunction:
In normal course of meiosis, the two chromosomes of each homologous pair separates and enter into two gametes, but sometimes a pair of homologous chromosomes fails to separate from one another, during miosis I. This phenomenon is called Non-disjunction.
Non-disjunction produce gametes with abnormal number of chromosome i.e either with less or extra chromosome. If such abnormal gametes fuse with normal gametes, the resulting zygote will also have abnormal number of chromosome.
