NEET Botany Cell Cycle Phases MCQ Question
Which of the following combinations of statements about the phases of the cell cycle are correct?
Interphase is the period of preparation for cell division. 2) M phase is when the actual cell division occurs. 3) G1 phase involves organelle duplication. 4) Cytoplasmic growth occurs during the G0 phase.
Interphase includes G1, S, and G2 phases. 2) M phase is the only phase where DNA replication occurs. 3) G1 phase is a period of cellular growth. 4) Cytoplasmic growth occurs during M phase.
G1 phase is when the cell grows and metabolizes. 2) M phase consists of four stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase. 3) Cells in G0 phase are actively dividing. 4) S phase is solely for cytoplasmic growth.
Interphase is a preparation phase. 2) M phase lasts longer than interphase. 3) G2 phase is solely for DNA replication. 4) G1 phase is when the cell duplicates its organelles.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Statements 1, 2, and 3 in option A are correct as they accurately describe the phases of the cell cycle. The G0 phase does not involve cytoplasmic growth or division, which makes statement 4 incorrect.
