Correct answer
C. A-3, B-1, C-4, D-2
Step-by-step solution
G₁ phase is the interval between mitosis and the initiation of DNA replication. The cell is metabolically active and continuously grows but does not replicate its DNA. S phase or synthesis phase marks the period during which DNA synthesis or replication takes place. In animal cells, during the S phase, DNA replication begins in the nucleus, and the centriole duplicates in the cytoplasm. During the G₂ phase, proteins are synthesised in preparation for mitosis while cell growth continues. Cells that do not divide fur
