Question

Cure for some cancers can be achieved in the ........... phase of the cell cycle.

• A. S phase
• B. G${}_0$ phase
• C. G${}_1$ phase
• D. G${}_2$ phase

Answer 1

The correct option is C G${}_1$ phase

The cure for some forms of cancer also lies in the G${}_1$ phase of the cell cycle. Many cancers including breast and skin cancers have been prevented from proliferating by causing the tumor cells to enter G${}_1$ cell cycle arrest, which prevents the cells from dividing and spreading. So, the correct answer is option C.
