Question

Given below are five groups of terms. In each group arrange and rewrite the terms in the correct order so as to be in a logical sequence.

Karyokinesis, S phase, Cytokinesis, G1 phase, G2 phase, (cell cycle).

Answer 1

In order to be in a logical sequence, the correct order is G ₁ phase, S phase, G₂ phase, Karyokinesis, Cytokinesis.

1. There are two phases in the cell cycle: mitotic phase and interphase. The interphase is further subdivided into three phases: G 1 phase, S (synthesis) phase, and G2 phase.
2. In the G1 phase, RNA, enzymes, proteins, amino acids for histone construction, nucleotide production, and ATP synthesis take place.
3. The DNA is duplicated during the S phase. During the G2 phase, protein and RNA synthesis is ramped up once more.
4. Mitotic phase begins when interphase is completed. Mitosis is made up of two steps: karyokinesis, which is the division of the nucleus, and cytokinesis, which is the division of the cytoplasm to generate two daughter cells.
