A typical eukaryotic cell cycle is illustrated by human cells in culture. These cells divide once in approximately every
1. 24 hours
2. 90 minutes
3. 20 minutes
4. 9 hours
Choose incorrect statement with respect to cell cycle
(1) Duration of cell cycle can vary from organism to organism
(2) Duration of cell cycle is uniform in different cell types of an organism
(3) Events of cell cycle are under genetic control
(4) It is divided into two basic phases
Choose the correct sequence with respect to different phases of cell cycle

(2) G1, G2, S, M
(3) M, G2, G1, S
(4) S, M, G2, G1
