Match List I with List II: List I List II A S phase I Exit cell cycle to enter an inactive stage B G ₁ phase II Amount of DNA per cell doubles C G ₂ phase III Cell growth continues along with protein synthesis for mitosis D G ₀ phase IV Metabolically active, grows continuously but no DNA replication Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Step-by-step solution

S phase is the synthesis phase during which DNA replication takes place, and the amount of DNA per cell doubles. G ₁ phase corresponds to the interval between mitosis and initiation of DNA replication. During this phase, the cell is metabolically active and continuously grows but does not replicate its DNA. G ₂ phase is the phase where proteins are synthesised in preparation for mitosis while cell growth continues. G ₀ phase is the quiescent stage where cells exit the cell cycle and enter an inactive stage. Thus, t
