Q17 / 180 · NEET 2020 (Phase 2) · Botany
Match the following events that occur in their respective phases of the cell cycle and select the correct option:
Column-I Column-II (a) phase (i) Cell grows and organelle duplication (b) phase (ii) replication and chromosome duplication (c) phase (iii) Cytoplasmic growth (d) Metaphase in phase (iv) Alignment of chromosomes
Match the following events that occur in their respective phases of the cell cycle and select the correct option:
| Column-I | Column-II | ||
| (a) | phase | (i) | Cell grows and organelle duplication |
| (b) | phase | (ii) | replication and chromosome duplication |
| (c) | phase | (iii) | Cytoplasmic growth |
| (d) | Metaphase in phase | (iv) | Alignment of chromosomes |
- A
- B
- C
- Correct answerD
Solution
| Phase | Characteristics |
| phase | The cell is metabolically most active, cell size increases and organelle duplication takes place in this phase. |
| phase | In this phase, replication, i.e. doubling of content, histone and centriole duplication takes place. |
| phase | In this phase, cytoplasmic growth takes place. |
| Metaphase in phase | In this stage, chromosomes are highly condensed and the alignment of chromosomes takes place at the metaphasic plate. |
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
