Question

A cell is bound to divide, if it has entered

• A. G${}_2$ phase
• B. G${}_1$ phase
• C. Prophase
• D. S phase

Answer 1

The correct option is D S phase

If a cell enters S phase it is bound to divide as because DNA starts replicating. It occurs between G${}_1$ phase and G${}_2$ phase. DNA replication is necessary to prevent genetic abnormalities which often lead to cell death or disease.

So, the correct answer is option D.
