During which of the following phases of the cell cycle are proteins synthesised in preparation for mitosis while cell growth continues?

Options

  1. AG₂ phase
  2. BG₁ phase
  3. CS phase
  4. DProphase

Correct answer

A. G₂ phase

Step-by-step solution

According to NCERT, during the G₂ phase of interphase, proteins are synthesised in preparation for mitosis while cell growth continues. G₁ phase corresponds to the interval between mitosis and initiation of DNA replication, where the cell is metabolically active and continuously grows but does not replicate its DNA. S phase is the period of DNA synthesis or replication. Prophase is the first stage of mitosis, marked by the condensation of chromosomal material, not the synthesis of proteins for preparation.
