At what stage of the cell cycle arc histone proteins synthesized in a eukaryotic cell?

Options

  1. Aduring G2\mathrm{G}_2 stage of prophase
  2. Bduring S-phase
  3. Cduring entire prophase
  4. Dduring telophase.

Correct answer

B. during S-phase

Step-by-step solution

Cell cycle is the series of events in which cells replicate and make two new cells. Cell cycle consists of stages- G1,S,G2G_1, S, G_2, and MM (karyokinesis). G1\mathrm{G}_1 is the stage where the cell is preparing to divide. It then moves into the SS phase where the cell copies all the DNA. S stands for synthesis phase of DNA. Histone proteins are also synthesised during the phase. After the DNA is copied and there's a complete extra set of all the genetic material, the cell moves into the G2\mathrm{G}_2 stage, where it organizes and condenses the genetic material, or starts to condense the genetic material, and prepares to divide.
