NEET2009BotanyCell Cycle and Cell DivisionActual
Given below is a schematic break-up of the phases/stages of cell cycle Which one of the following is the correct indication of the stage/phase in the cell cycle?
Options
- AB-Metaphase
- BC-Karyokinesis
- CD-Synthetic phase
- DA-Cytokinesis
Correct answer
C. D-Synthetic phase
Step-by-step solution
Cell cycle completes in two steps- Interphase and M-phase. Interphase is completed in three successive stages G ₁ -phase (post mitotic phase), S-phase (synthetic phase) and G ₂ -phase (pre-mitotic or post synthetic phase). In the given figure, D is representing the S-phase (synthetic phase) of cell cycle.
