(b) Is it undergoing mitosis or meiosis?
(c) What should be the correct sequence of these four stages among themselves?
(d) Name the stage that should precede the earliest of these stages.
(e) Draw the stage named above inside the blank space provided.

Solution

Each Part: 1 Mark

(a) It is an animal cell because
(i) Cell-wall is absent.
(ii) Centrosomes are present.
(b) The cell is undergoing mitosis.
(c) B, C, D, A should be the correct sequence of these four stages.
(d) Interphase should precede the earliest of these stages because the cell prepares for division in this phase.
