Cell Cycle and Cell DivisionMedium

Question

Following are the stages of cell division:

A. Gap 2 phase

B. Cytokinesis

C. Synthesis phase

D. Karyokinesis

E. Gap 1 phase

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

Options

A.B-D-E-A-C
B.E-C-A-D-B
C.C-E-D-A-B
D.E-B-D-A-C

Solution

Sol. [Key Concept: Cell cycle sequence]

In a typical dividing cell, the sequence is G₁ or Gap 1 → S or synthesis → G₂ or Gap 2 → karyokinesis → cytokinesis. These correspond to E–C–A–D–B, option (2). Karyokinesis is nuclear division; cytokinesis is cytoplasmic division.
