  1. Identify the stage giving suitable reasons.
  2. Name the parts numbered 1 and 2.
  3. What is the technical term for the division of nucleus?
  4. Mention the stage that comes before the stage shown in the diagram. Draw a neat labelled diagram of the stage mentioned.
  5. Which is the cell division that results in half the number of chromosomes in daughter cells?

Answer

(i) Telophase. Nuclear membrane reappears / Spindle fibres disappears / Cytokinesis begins / Chromatids become thin / daughter nuclei are formed.

(ii) 1 - Chromosome; 2 - Nuclear membrane

(iiI) Karyokinesis
