C. Quiescent

Question

Match List I with List II regarding the phases of the cell cycle:

List I
A. M Phase
B. G2 Phase
C. Quiescent stage (G0)
D. G1 Phase

List II
I. Proteins are synthesized
II. Inactive phase
III. Interval between mitosis and initiation of DNA replication
IV. Equational division

Accepted Answer

According to the textbook:
- M Phase (A): Since the number of chromosomes in the parent and progeny cells is the same, it is called equational division .
- G2 Phase (B): During this phase, proteins are synthesised in preparation for mitosis .
- Quiescent stage (C): Cells that do not divide further enter an inactive stage called G0, where they remain metabolically active but do not proliferate .
- G1 Phase (D): Corresponds to the interval between mitosis and initiation of DNA replication .
