Which of the following is the most primitive ancestor of man?
Ramapithecus
Homo habilis
Australopithecus
Homo sapiens neanderthalensis
A.

The mitotic cell cycle is divided typically into four phases; G1, S, G2 and M. Considering a mitotic cycle time of 18 hrs; the distribution of period of time (in hrs) for each of these phases will be
G1 | S | G2 | M |
1 | 3 | 5 | 9 |
G1 | S | G2 | M |
9 | 1 | 3 | 5 |
G1 | S | G2 | M |
9 | 5 | 3 | 1 |
G1 | S | G2 | M |
3 | 5 | 9 | 1 |
