Select the incorrect statement.

A

In the 24 hour average durative of cell cycle of a human cell, division proper lasts for only about an hour.

B

The interphase lasts more than 95% of the duration of cell cycle.

C

Even after S phase the number of chromosomes remains the same , i.e., 2n

D

In plant cell, during the S phase , DNA replication begins in the nucleus, and the centriole duplicates in the cytoplasm.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of selecting the incorrect statement regarding the cell cycle, we will analyze each statement provided in the question step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Cell Cycle**: - The cell cycle consists of two main phases: Interphase and M-phase (Mitotic phase). - Interphase is the longer phase, accounting for about 95% of the cell cycle, while M-phase accounts for about 5%. 2. **Analyzing Statement A**: - **Statement A**: "In the 24 hours average duration of cell cycle of a human cell, division proper lasts for only about an hour." - This statement is correct because the M-phase typically lasts for about 1 hour in a 24-hour cell cycle. 3. **Analyzing Statement B**: - **Statement B**: "The interphase lasts more than 95% of the duration of the cell cycle." - This statement is also correct, as interphase indeed constitutes the majority of the cell cycle duration. 4. **Analyzing Statement C**: - **Statement C**: "Even after S phase the number of chromosomes remains the same that is 2N." - This statement is correct. During the S phase, the DNA content doubles (from X to 2X), but the number of chromosomes remains at 2N. 5. **Analyzing Statement D**: - **Statement D**: "In plant cells during S phase DNA replication begins in the nucleus and the centriole duplicates in the cytoplasm." - This statement is incorrect. Higher plant cells do not have centrioles; they use microtubules for spindle formation during cell division. Additionally, centriole duplication occurs in the G2 phase in animal cells, not during the S phase. ### Conclusion: Based on the analysis, the incorrect statement is **Statement D**. ### Final Answer: **The incorrect statement is D.** ---
