What to expect: This mock test covers key concepts from the Cell Cycle and Cell Division chapter — including application-based and competency-focused questions aligned with how ICSE actually sets the paper.
Tip: Attempt without notes first to identify gaps, then review explanations for any wrong answers. Retake after a few days for best retention.
Sample questions
-
1.Assertion (A): Meiosis involves two sequential cycles of nuclear and cell division but only a single cycle of DNA replication. Reason (R): There is no replication of DNA during interkinesis.
- A.Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
- B.Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
- C.A is true but R is false
- D.A is false but R is true
-
2.Assertion (A): In animal cells the centriole duplicates in the cytoplasm during the S phase. Reason (R): During the S phase DNA replication begins in the nucleus of animal cells.
- A.Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
- B.Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
- C.A is true but R is false
- D.A is false but R is true
-
3.How does cytokinesis in plant cells differ from that in animal cells?
- A.Plant cells divide by a furrow in the plasma membrane, whereas animal cells form a cell-plate
- B.Plant cells form a cell-plate from the centre outward, whereas animal cells divide by a furrow in the plasma membrane
- C.Both plant and animal cells divide only by a cleavage furrow
- D.Plant cells never undergo cytokinesis
-
4.Which set correctly lists the significances of mitosis? (I) Production of diploid daughter cells with identical genetic complement. (II) Growth of multicellular organisms. (III) Cell repair. (IV) Reduction of chromosome number by half.
- A.I, II and III only
- B.II, III and IV only
- C.I and IV only
- D.I, II, III and IV
-
5.Continuous growth of plants throughout their life results from mitotic divisions in which tissues?
- A.Permanent tissues
- B.Meristematic tissues (apical and lateral cambium)
- C.Epidermal tissues only
- D.Vascular bundles
