Question

Which one of the following is the correct indication of the stage / phase in the cell cycle?

• A. D - Synthetic phase
• B. A - Cytokinesis
• C. B - Metaphase
• D. C - Karyokinesis

Answer 1

The correct option is A D - Synthetic phase

A normal cell cycle comprises of interphase and mitosis. The interphase normally comprises of first growth phase (G${}_1$ phase) which starts immediately after the cytokinesis, synthesis phase (S phase) which is marked here as D and second growth phase (G${}_2$ phase). The DNA synthesis or DNA replication occurs during S phase.

So, the correct answer is option A.
