D.  Descriptive Type

1. Mention whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F). Give reason to support your answer.

(a) As you grow from childhood to adulthood, your skin cells divide only to replace such cells that are lost from the surface. T/F

Ans: This statement is true.

This is because the population of the cells remains constant due to mitotic division. The number of new cells will be equal to the number of dead cells.

(b) A nuclear membrane in a mitotically dividing cell remains intact up to metaphase and disappears only in the telophase. T/F

Ans: This statement is false.

Nuclear membrane and nucleolus disappear in prophase, are absent in metaphase and then it is formed in telophase.

(c) Mitotic cell division can be a mode of reproduction. T/F

Ans: This statement is true.

Certain unicellular organisms such as Amoeba reproduce by mitotic division which results in two daughters Amoeba.

(d) Crossing-over between chromatids can occur only between homologous 

chromosomes. T/F

Ans: This statement is true.

This is because the homologous pair of chromosomes are one received from the maternal and other from the paternal. They possess the same genes with the same or contrasting traits and are paired up during meiosis to undergo genetic exchange (or crossing over).


2. Define the following terms

a) Chromosome

Ans: It is defined as the thread-like structure of DNA that carries the gene (unit of heredity). 

b) Gene

Ans: These are defined as the sequence of nucleotides that are present on the chromosome & responsible for the encoding of protein which are mainly expressed in the form of particular features of an individual

3. Give reason

(a) Gametes must be produced by meiosis for sexual reproduction.

Ans: Meiosis is the reductional division that reduces chromosome no. into the half. The main purpose of meiosis is to form gametes, these are the sex cells that fuse together to form diploid individuals. 

(b) Why is meiosis referred to as reductional division?

Ans: Meiosis is referred to as reductional division because it reduces the chromosome number into half of the parent cells in the daughter cells.  

(c) The children of the same parents, however similar, are different from each other in certain aspects.

Ans: This is because of the generation of variations that occurs due to the crossing over. The process of crossing over occurs during the meiosis and gamete formation in the parents.

  2. Prophase: Chromosomes become distinct, duplicated into sister chromatids. Centrioles move apart towards poles and spindle fibres appeared in between the centrioles. Nuclear membrane and nucleolus disintegrate and disappear.

  3. Metaphase: Each chromosome is attached to the spindle fibres at centromere and aligned at the equatorial region.

  4. Anaphase:  Spindle fibres pull apart the attached sister chromatids and split. The two sister chromatids of each chromosome separate and move towards the opposite poles. A furrow starts appearing in the cell membrane, which starts cytokinesis.

  5. Telophase: Daughter chromatids separate and reach poles to form two sets of chromosomes. Chromosomes are less condensed and form chromatin fibres. Nucleus and nuclear membrane reappear, deepening of cleave furrow between the daughter nuclei.
