NEET Biology Cell Cycle and Cell Division Questions
Cell Cycle and Cell Division practice focused on cell-cycle control, mitosis, meiosis and chromosome behaviour. Every preview below comes from NeetVellum's live original bank—not an unverified PYQ reconstruction.
cell-cycle control, mitosis, meiosis and chromosome behaviour.
Original practice preview
These are current-syllabus NeetVellum questions, shown separately from historical-paper provenance.
Example 1 · difficulty 1/5
A typical human somatic cell completes one full cycle in about 24 hours. During this period, the greatest fraction of time is spent in:
A. Mitotic (M) phase
B. S phase alone
C. Interphase (G1 + S + G2)
D. G2 phase alone
Example 2 · difficulty 2/5
A cultured cell enters S phase with 2C DNA and 2n chromosomes. When S phase is completed, the cell will contain:
A. 4C DNA and 2n chromosomes
B. 4C DNA and 4n chromosomes
C. 2C DNA and 2n chromosomes
D. 2C DNA and 4n chromosomes
Example 3 · difficulty 2/5
Many cells of an adult animal, such as mature heart muscle cells, rarely or never divide. In terms of the cell cycle, such cells are best described as having entered:
A. An S phase block
B. The G0 (quiescent) stage
C. A G2 checkpoint arrest
D. Interkinesis
The evidence-first practice loop
1. Verify provenanceOfficial paper and final key before accepting a PYQ label.
2. Attempt closed-bookExpose the concept or execution gap before rereading.
