Read the following statements regarding meristematic cells and select the correct ones. (i) Cells possess the ability to grow and divide.( ii) Cells have dense cytoplasm with prominent nucleus.(iii)Cells are without intercellular spaces. (iv) Vacuoles are either absent or smaller in size (v) The plastids are in proplastid stage and cells do not store reserve food material.

Read the paragraph and answer the questions given below it. The cells of the nervous tissue become excited on receiving stimuli and conduct that excitation from one part of the body to another. The cell body containing the cytoplasm and nucleus is the main part of each nerve cell. Numerous, small, branched fibres called dendrites arise from the cell body of the nerve cell. One of the fibres is extremely long, it is called the axon. Numerous nerve cells are bound by connective tissue to form a nerve. Nervous tissue is present in the brain, spinal cord and the network of nerves spread all through the body. In most of the animals, response to stimuli occurs duc to the integrated functioning of the nervous and muscular tissue. How can stimuli at one end of the body generate an impulse in the brain?

Analyse the events during every stage of cell cycle and notice how the following two parameters change: Amount of DNA content (C ) per cell.

In eukaryotes, the process of division of a somatic parent cell into two daughter cells is known as mitosis. During the M or mitosis phase of a cell cycle, the chromosomes present in the nucleus are separated into two identical sets, which eventually form two daughter nuclei. This is followed by cytokinesis. Onion root tips are most commonly used to observe the different stages of mitosis in the laboratory. Each onion cell contains a total of eight chromosomes. DNA specific stains are used to visualise these chromosomes in different phases of mitosis. Name the stain that can be used to observe the different phases of mitosis.
