Question: 127 Match List I with List II :
| List I | List II |
|---|---|
| A. M Phase | I. Proteins are synthesized |
| B. \mathrm{G}_{2} Phase | II. Inactive phase |
| C. Quiescent stage | III. Interval between mitosis and initiation of DNA replication |
| IV. Equational division |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
(1) A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
(2) A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
(3) A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
(4) A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III
Answer: Option (1)
Explanation:
M phase represents mitosis, during which equational division occurs, so A matches with IV.
The \mathrm{G}_{2} phase is the post-DNA synthesis phase in
which proteins required for mitosis are actively synthesized, so B matches with I.
The quiescent stage, also called \mathrm{G}_{0} phase,
is an inactive phase where cells do not divide, so C matches with II.
The remaining pair corresponds to the interval between mitosis and initiation of DNA replication.
Thus, the correct matching is A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III, which corresponds to Option (1).
