Question

Assertion : G1-phase is also called anaphase, as during this phase the cell stores ATP for cell division.

Reason : Cell produces structural and functional proteins. Cell’s metabolic rate is high and is controlled by the enzymes.

• A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is correct explanation of assertion.
• B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
• C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
• D. If both assertion and reason are false.

Answer 1

The correct option is D If both assertion and reason are false.

The G1 phase is often referred to as the growth phase, because this is the time in which a cell grows. During this phase, the cell synthesizes various enzymes and nutrients that are needed later on for DNA replication and cell division.

Cell produces structural and functional proteins. It's metabolic rate is controlled by different types of enzymes as well as hormones.

Therefore, both assertion and reason are false.
