Question

The diagram represents a eukaryotic cell cycle divided into 5 phases (A-E).


Match phases A-E of the diagram with the processes 1-5 given below.
1. Involves cytokinesis
2. Main growth period of the cell
3. Duplication of DNA
4. Quiescent cells
5. Last stage of interphase

• A. A-2, B-3, C-5, D-1, E-4
• B. A-3, B-2, C-1, D-4, E-5
• C. A-1, B-2, C-3, D-4, E-5
• D. A-4, B-5, C-3, D-1, E-2

Answer 1

The correct option is A A-2, B-3, C-5, D-1, E-4

A-represent G${}_1$ phase of cell cycle, in which cell is metabolically active and prepare itself for DNA replication.
B-represent S phase of cell cycle in which DNA replication occurs.
C-represents G${}_2$ phase of cell cycle in which proteins are synthesized. It is the last stage of interphase
D-this is last step of division in which cytoplasm of cell divide, this phase is represent the cytokinesis.
E-represent Go phase of cell cycle in which cell cycle is suspended. It is an inactive stage of cell cycle which is commonly called quiescent stage.
