Question

Match the items in List I with items in List II

 

• A. A - III, B - II, C - IV, D - I
• B. A - III, B - IV, C - II, D - I
• C. A - IV, B - III, C - II, D - I
• D. A - II, B - IV, C - I, D - III

Hint:

To solve cell division matching questions, always recall the sequence: {Prophase → Metaphase → Anaphase → Telophase}, and associate key events like condensation, alignment, separation, and reformation.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Prophase (A - III)
During prophase, the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes. Therefore, condensation of DNA into chromatids (III) occurs in prophase.
Step 2: Metaphase (B - IV) 
In metaphase, the chromosomes align themselves along the metaphase plate (equatorial axis). Thus, chromatids line up along an axis (IV). 
Step 3: Anaphase (C - II) 
During anaphase, the centromeres split and sister chromatids are pulled toward opposite poles. Hence, separation of daughter chromosomes (II) occurs. 
Step 4: Telophase (D - I) 
In telophase, the nuclear envelope reforms around the chromosomes at each pole, so reformation of the nuclear envelope (I) is correct.
