Match List I with List II:List I List II A. M Phase I. Proteins are synthesized B. G2 Phase II. Inactive phase C. G1 Phase III. Interval between mitosis and initiation of DNA replication D. G1 Phase IV. Equational division
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
| List I | List II |
|---|---|
| A. M Phase | I. Proteins are synthesized |
| B. G2 Phase | II. Inactive phase |
| C. G1 Phase | III. Interval between mitosis and initiation of DNA replication |
| D. G1 Phase | IV. Equational division |
Answer: (C) A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III. Answer: A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III Solution: M phase is the equational division (A-IV); during G2 phase proteins are synthesised in preparation for mitosis (B-I); the quiescent/G0 stage is the inactive phase (C-II); and G1 phase corresponds to the interval between mitosis and initiation of DNA replication (D-III).
- A.A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
- B.A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III
- C.A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III✓
- D.A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
Correct Answer
(C) A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
Solution & Explanation
Answer: A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III Solution: M phase is the equational division (A-IV); during G2 phase proteins are synthesised in preparation for mitosis (B-I); the quiescent/G0 stage is the inactive phase (C-II); and G1 phase corresponds to the interval between mitosis and initiation of DNA replication (D-III). (List I as printed repeats 'G1 Phase' for C and D — the intended C is the inactive G0 stage.) This matching is the only one consistent with the NCERT descriptions.
