Worksheet 1

Class 10

Topic: Structure of Chromosome and Cell Division

Choose the correct option:

1. Assertion: The spindle fibers play a crucial role in chromosome movement during cell division.
Reason: They attach to the centromeres and help separate sister chromatids.
a) Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and reason is the correct explanation for assertion.
b) Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
c) Assertion is true but Reason is false.
d) Both Assertion and Reason are false.

2. Assertion: Meiosis involves two successive divisions, resulting in four haploid daughter cells.
Reason: This process is essential for sexual reproduction and introduces genetic variation.
a) Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and reason is the correct explanation for assertion.
b) Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
c) Assertion is true but Reason is false.
d) Both Assertion and Reason are false.

3. Assertion: The G2 phase of the cell cycle is a checkpoint for DNA damage and completeness of
replication.
Reason: Cells that pass the G2 checkpoint proceed to mitosis.
a) Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and reason is the correct explanation for assertion.
b) Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
c) Assertion is true but Reason is false.
d) Both Assertion and Reason are false.

4. Assertion: Crossing over during meiosis increases genetic variation among offspring.
Reason: It involves the exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids.
a) Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and reason is the correct explanation for assertion.
b) Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
c) Assertion is true but Reason is false.
d) Both Assertion and Reason are false.

5. Assertion: During metaphase, chromosomes align at the cell’s equatorial plane.


Reason: This ensures equal distribution of chromosomes to daughter cells during cell division.
a) Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and reason is the correct explanation for assertion.
b) Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
c) Assertion is true but Reason is false.
d) Both Assertion and Reason are false.

6. Assertion: Anaphase is characterized by the separation of chromatids.


Reason: The centromere splits, allowing chromatids to move toward opposite poles.
a) Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and reason is the correct explanation for assertion.
b) Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
c) Assertion is true but Reason is false.
d) Both Assertion and Reason are false.
7. Assertion: The furrow forms during cytokinesis in plant cells.
Reason: It develops into a new cell wall between the daughter cells.
a) Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and reason is the correct explanation for assertion.
b) Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
c) Assertion is true but Reason is false.
d) Both Assertion and Reason are false.
8. Assertion: The nuclear envelope reforms during telophase.
Reason: It marks the completion of cell division.
a) Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and reason is the correct explanation for assertion.
b) Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
c) Assertion is true but Reason is false.
d) Both Assertion and Reason are false.

9. Assertion: G1 phase is the interval between mitosis and initiation of DNA replication.

Reason: The cell is metabolically inactive during G1 phase.

a) Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and reason is the correct explanation for assertion.
b) Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
c) Assertion is true but Reason is false.
d) Both Assertion and Reason are false.

10. Assertion: Chromosomes are folds of chromatin fibres packed with DNA and proteins that form the
genetic material.
Reason: Genes are segments of RNA and is the fundamental unit of heredity.

a) Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and reason is the correct explanation for assertion.
b) Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
c) Assertion is true but Reason is false.
d) Both Assertion and Reason are false.
