Given ahead are three diagrammatic sketches (A, B and C) of one and the same particular phase during the mitotic type of cell division.

(a) Identify the phase....................


(b) What is the diploid number of chromosomes shown in them? ....................



(c) Identify whether these are animal cells or plant cells?


A ...............................................,


B ...............................................,


C ...............................................,


(d) Which of these is/are shown in the correct direction? (Tick mark the correct answer).


(i) Only A (ii) Only B


(iii) Only A and C (iv) All the three

(a) It is metaphase stage of mitotic division.

(b) The diploid number of chromosomes shown in them is 4.


(c) Cell A - Animal cell because cell wall is absent and round in shape.


Cell B- Animal cell because cell wall is absent and round in shape.


Cell C – Plant cell because cell wall is present.


(d) All these are shown in the correct direction.
