Solution

1.Mitosis :c.results in a daughter cell that has the exact copy of the chromosomes of its parent.

Reason: Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells with same number of chromosomes as that of parent cell.

2.Meiosis: d.haploid cells are produced from a single diploid cell.

Reason:Form a single dipolid cell, four haploid cells are formed.

3.Homologous chromosomes: c. come in pairs.

Reason: Homologous chromosomes means one from father and one from mother.So they come in pairs.

4.Chromosomes are :a.replicated during cell division.

Reason: Chromosome replication takes place in mitosis.

5.Which of the following is true of mitosis?a.Mitosis produces identical daughter cells.

Reason: Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells with same number of chromosomes as that of parent cell.

6.The phenotype of an individual refers to :d.its visible characteristics.

Reason:The observed characteristics of individual is known as phenotype.

7.Chromosomes are contained in :d.the nuclei of eukaryotes.

Reason: It is in the nucleus of eukaryotes that chromosomes are contained.

8.In diploid organisms :d.chromosomes occur in homologous pairs.

Reason: Homologous chromosomes means one from father and one from mother.So they come in pairs.

9.Gametes : a.are the sex cells, or eggs and sperm.

Reason:Gametes are male or female sex cells.

10.The genotype of an individual refers to :c.the number of chromosomes in its body cells.

Reason:Genotype refers to genetic constitution of an individual and so refers to the number of chromosomes in its body cells.
