NEET Botany Question (2026) — Solution
Question
Match List I with List II : List I (Phase of cell cycle) List II (Activity) A. G_1 phase I. Actual cell division occurs B. S phase II. Cell is metabolically active and continuously grows but does not replicate its DNA C. G_2 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
- A. A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
- B. A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
- C. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
- D. A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
Answer
D. A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
Step-by-step solution
In the G_1 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 G_2 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
