Question
Which of the following correctly matches a phase of the cell cycle with its description? a. G1 - follows cell division b. S - replication of genetic material c. G2 - cell division d. M - assemblage of cytoplasmic materials necessary for cell division
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The S phase (Synthesis phase) is correctly described as the period when DNA replication occurs. G1 follows cell division, G2 is a growth phase after S, and M (Mitosis) is the actual cell division phase.
Hint
The 'S' stands for 'Synthesis' of DNA.
