Question

Which of the following represents the correct sequence of cell cycle phases?

1) G-1 = postmitotic or pre-DNA synthesis
2) S = DNA synthesis
3) G-2 = premitotic or post DNA synthesis
4) M = Mitosis
5) G-0 = resting stage-cells are not in the process of dividing

Answer 1

The correct sequence of cell cycle phases is G1, S, G2, M, G0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct sequence of cell cycle phases is as follows:

1. G1: In this phase, the cell undergoes rapid growth and performs its routine functions.
2. S: During this phase, the cell's DNA is replicated.
3. G2: In this phase, the cell continues to grow and makes the necessary preparations for mitosis.
4. M: This is the phase of cell division, where the duplicated chromosomes are segregated and distributed into daughter nuclei.
5. G0: This is the resting stage where cells are not in the process of dividing.
