JIPMER2010BotanyCell Cycle and Cell Division
During the G ₁ -phase of cell division
Options
- ARNA and proteins are synthesised
- BDNA and proteins are synthesised
- Ccell prepares for M-phase
- Dcell undergoes duplication
Correct answer
A. RNA and proteins are synthesised
Step-by-step solution
Cell division has two phase : (a) Karyokinesis : Division of nucleus (b) Cytokinesis : Division of cytoplasm. Karyokinesis also consists of two phase : (i) Interphase is a resting phase and consists of G ₁, ~S and G ₂ -phase. array |c|l| Phase & Activities G ₁ & RNA and proteins synthesis takes place S & DNA replication takes place G ₂ & array l Damaged DNA is repaired and division of centrosomes takes place array array (ii) M-phase represents the phase of actual division.
