NEET 2026 Botany Phases of Cell Cycle Match the Following Question

Type: Match the Following-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Match List I with List II:

Phase of cell cycleActivity
(A) G₁ phase(I) Actual cell division occurs
(B) S phase(II) Cell is metabolically active and continuously grows but does not replicate its DNA
(C) G₂ Phase(III) Synthesis of DNA occurs and the amount of DNA per cell doubles
(D) M phase(IV) Proteins are synthesized while cell growth continues
A

A⁻IV, B⁻I, C⁻II, D⁻III

B

A⁻I, B⁻II, C⁻III, D⁻IV

C

A⁻III, B⁻IV, C⁻I, D⁻II

D

A⁻II, B⁻III, C⁻IV, D⁻I

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

During G₁ phase the cell is metabolically active and continuously grows but does not replicate its DNA. S⁻phase marks the phase during which DNA synthesis or replication takes place and amount of DNA per cell doubles. During the G₂ phase, proteins are synthesized in preparation for mitosis while cell growth continues. During M phase the actual cell division takes place.
