Shown below are four stages (A, B, C, D) (not in sequence) of a certain kind of cell division.
(a) Is it a plant cell or an animal cell? Give two
reasons
(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

(a) This is an animal cell because i) The outline is circular (in plants it would be angular {rectangular or polygonal}) and cell wall is absent. ii) Centrosomes or centrioles are present. (These are found only in animal cells)
(b) Mitosis
(c) B, C, D, A.
(d) Interphase
(e)
