CELL CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is NOT a phase of the cell cycle?
A
M phase
B
S phase
C
R phase
D
Interphase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Solution : interphase in a cell cycle has three stages ā€˜-G (1 ), Sā€˜ and ā€˜G (2)ā€˜ M-phase is not a part of interphase.

Detailed explanation-2: -In eukaryotes, the cell cycle consists of four discrete phases: G1, S, G2, and M. The S or synthesis phase is when DNA replication occurs, and the M or mitosis phase is when the cell actually divides. The other two phases-G1 and G2, the so-called gap phases-are less dramatic but equally important.

Detailed explanation-3: -The third stage of the cell cycle is called cytokinesis. During this stage, the cytoplasm of the cell divides to form two cells. These two cells are called daughter cells. The new daughter cells are exactly the same as each other.

Detailed explanation-4: -These phases are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Detailed explanation-5: -These cells that do not divide further exist G1 phase to enter an inactive stage called quiescent stage (G0) of the cell cycle. Cells in this stage remain metabolically active but no longer proliferate unless called on to do so depending on the requirement of the organism.
