Identify the correct statements regarding G1 phase of the cell cycle:
I: | It is the post-mitotic gap phase |
II: | The cell is metabolically active and grows continuously |
III: | Cell replicates its DNA |
1. | Only II | 2. | I and II only |
3. | Only I | 4. | I, II and III |
What would be the DNA content and chromosome number in a cell at the end of S phase with 2C DNA content and 2N chromosome number in G1?
1. | 4C and 4N | 2. | 2C and 4N |
3. | 4C and 2N | 4. | 2C and 2N |
Proteins are synthesized in preparation for mitosis during:
1. | G1 phase | 2. | S phase |
3. | G2 phase | 4. | M phase |
The cells in the quiescent stage [G0] phase of the cell cycle:
1. | exit from the S phase |
2. | continue the events of cell cycle and complete the division |
3. | are metabolically active |
4. | cannot ever proliferate |
The phase of the cell cycle during which DNA replication takes place is:
1. | G1 phase | 2. | S phase |
3. | G2 phase | 4. | M phase |
The centrosome duplicates during:
1. | Early Prophase | 2. | Late Prophase |
3. | S phase | 4. | G2 phase |
Onion root tip has 16 chromosomes in each cell. How many chromosomes will the cell respectively have at G1 phase, after S phase and after M phase?
1. | 16, 32, 16 | 2. | 16, 32, 8 |
3. | 16, 16, 8 | 4. | 16, 16, 16 |
The Mitotic [M] phase of a typical eukaryotic cell is divided into:
1. | Two stages | 2. | Three stages |
3. | Four stages | 4. | Five stages |
Cells which are not dividing are likely to be at
1. | G1 | 2. | G2 |
3. | G0 | 4. | S phase |
In G1 phase, a cell has 2N chromosome content and 2C DNA content. The chromosome and DNA content at the end of S phase in this cell would be:
1. 1N; 1C | 2. 2N; 2C |
3. 2N; 4C | 4. 4N; 4C |
