Question

Identify the stages of the cell cycle using the drop-down menus. Label A Label B Label C Label D Label E *Interphase *Mitosis *G1 Phase *G2 Phase *S Phase

Answer 1

Answer:

Label A Interphase

Label B G1 Phase

Label C S Phase

Label D G2 Phase

Label E Mitosis

Explanation:

Interphase is a stage that lies between two consecutive cell divisions. In the interphase stage, the cell prepares itself for next cell division. This phase comprises of three sub phases -  

a) G1 phase – Cell accumulates building blocks of chromosomal DNA and sufficient energy reserves

b) S phase – Identical pairs of DNA form in this sub phase.  

c) G2 phase – In this sub phase, the cell regains its energy and synthesize proteins

After inter phase,  the mitotic phase starts .  

 

Hence the correct order is as follows

Label A Interphase

Label B G1 Phase

Label C S Phase

Label D G2 Phase

Label E Mitosis
