Question

When chromosomes begin to coil and condense, the cell is in _____. g0 phase g1 phase g2 phase s phase?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer will be G₂ phase.

Explanation:

The cell cycle is divided into two phases: interphase and M-phase where interphase is associated with cell growth while M-phase is associated with the DNA division.

Interphase is categorized into four phases: G₁, S, G₂ and G₀ phase which can be marked easily. G₂ phase occurs after the completion of S phase during which synthesis of DNA or DNA replication takes place.

It is after DNA replication, chromosome starts preparing for M-phase or mitotic phase the pre-requisite of which is a packaged form of DNA in a structure called chromosomes. This chromosome is formed after the condensation of DNA which takes place at the end of G₂  phase and beginning of M-phase.

Thus, G₂ phase is the correct answer.

Answer 2

I believe that the best answer among the choices given above is the second choice g1 phase.
