Question

Following are the stages of cell division:

1. Gap 2 phase
2. Cytokinesis
3. Synthesis phase
4. Karyokinesis
5. Gap 1 phase

Choose the correct sequence of stages from the options given below:

Options

• B - D - E - A - C

• E - C - A - D - B

• C - E - D - A - B

• E - B - D - A - C

Answer 1

E - C - A - D - B

Explanation:

There are various stages in the cell cycle: Cell development and DNA replication preparation take place during the Gap 1 (G1) phase. DNA duplicates during the Synthesis (S) phase. The Gap 2 (G2) phase promotes additional development and division preparation. The nucleus is split into two identical sets of chromosomes by karyokinesis. The cytoplasm is finally split by cytokinesis, producing two daughter cells.
