Given ahead are three diagrammatic sketches (A, B and C) of one and the same particular phase during 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 ? Give reasons.

B...............,
C...............,

Solution

(a) Metaphase.
(b) 4
(c) A – Animal
B – Animal
C – Plant

Centrioles are only found in animal cells and in A & B, centrioles are shown which makes them animal cells and C, a plant cell. And also cell c contains a cell wall which is present only in a plant cell.
