Match List I with List II : List I (Phase of cell cycle) List II (Activity) A. G₁ phase I. Actual cell division occurs B. S phase II. Cell is metabolically active and continuously grows but does not replicate its DNA C. G₂ phase III. Synthesis of DNA occurs and the amount of DNA per cell doubles D. M phase IV. Proteins are synthesized while cell growth continues Choose the correct answer from the options given below
Options
- AA-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
- BA-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
- CA-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
- DA-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
Correct answer
D. A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
Step-by-step solution
In the G₁ phase, the cell is metabolically active and continuously grows but does not replicate its DNA. In the S phase (synthesis phase), DNA replication takes place and the amount of DNA per cell doubles. In the G₂ phase, proteins are synthesized in preparation for mitosis while cell growth continues. In the M phase, actual cell division or mitosis occurs. Therefore, the correct matching is A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I. Answer: A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
