Which of the following statements about the cell cycle and cell division are correct?
A
Mitosis occurs only in diploid somatic cells in animals.
B
Interphase consists of G1, S, and G2 phases, preparing the cell for division.
C
Meiosis is a simpler process than mitosis and has fewer phases.
D
Cells in the G0 phase are inactive and do not carry out any metabolic processes.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Mitosis is indeed restricted to diploid somatic cells in animals, while interphase consists of G1, S, and G2 phases as preparation for division. However, meiosis is more complex than mitosis, and G0 phase cells remain metabolically active despite not dividing.
