Question

Choose the correct order of phases of cell cycle starting from the phase in which majority of time is spent by the cells.
I. $G_2$ Phase - growth and preparation for mitosis
II. Mitosis
III.G${}_1$ Phase - DNA copied
IV. S Phase - DNA copied
V. Cytokinesis

• A. III, IV, I, II, V
• B. III, I, IV, V, II
• C. II, III, I, II, V
• D. IV, III, I, II, V
• E. V, III, IV, I, II

Answer 1

The correct option is A III, IV, I, II, V

The maximum time taken by the cell in in G1 phase, which is around 10 hours, This is followed by S phase, for around 9 hours, followed by G2 phase, 4 hours and then mitosis and cytokinesis, which is 1 hour and less than 1 hour respectively.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
