Q22 / 200 · NEET 2009 (Screening) · Botany

Given below is a schematic break-up of the phases/stages of cell cycle Figure
Which one of the following is the correct indication of the stage/phase in the cell cycle?

  • A
    B-Metaphase
  • B
    C-Karyokinesis
  • Correct answer
    C
    D-Synthetic phase
  • D
    A-Cytokinesis

Solution

Cell cycle completes in two steps- Interphase and M-phase. Interphase is completed in three successive stages $\mathbf{G}_1$-phase (post mitotic phase), S-phase (synthetic phase) and $\mathbf{G}_2$-phase (pre-mitotic or post synthetic phase). In the given figure, $\mathrm{D}$ is representing the S-phase (synthetic phase) of cell cycle.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
