Given below is a schematic break-up of the phases-stages of cell cycle

Which one of the following is the correct indication of the stage/phase in the cell cycle

Options

A. B-metaphase
B. C-karyokinesis
C. D-synthetic phase
D. A-cytokinesis

Answer

C

Explanation

Cell cycle completes in two steps, i.e. interphase and M-phase. Interphase is completed in three successive stages ` G_(1)` - phase (post mitotic phase), S-phase (synthetic phase) and ` G_(2)`- phase (premitotic or post synthetic phase). In the given figure. D is representing the S-phase (synthetic phase ) of cell cycle.
