NEET 2026 Botany Phases of Cell Cycle Match the Following Question
Match List I with List II:
| Phase of cell cycle | Activity |
|---|---|
| (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⁻IV, B⁻I, C⁻II, D⁻III
A⁻I, B⁻II, C⁻III, D⁻IV
A⁻III, B⁻IV, C⁻I, D⁻II
A⁻II, B⁻III, C⁻IV, D⁻I
Correct Answer
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.
