NEET Botany Cell Cycle Phases MCQ Question
Which of the following statements correctly describe the phases of the cell cycle?
Interphase consists of G1, S, and G2 phases, while M Phase represents cell division.
M Phase is the longest phase of the cell cycle, lasting around 24 hours.
The separation of sister chromatids occurs during Metaphase of mitosis.
Telophase follows Anaphase I during meiosis and results in diploid daughter cells.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Interphase is divided into G1, S, and G2 phases, while the M Phase is the stage of actual cell division. Option B is incorrect as M Phase lasts about an hour, not 24 hours. Option C misstates the events of Metaphase; sister chromatids separate during Anaphase. Option D is incorrect as Telophase I results in haploid daughter cells, not diploid.
