Pachytene
Which of the following sequence is a correct one for meiotic cell cycle?
G1 S G2 M G1
G1 G2 S M G2
G2 G1 S M G2
S G1 G2 M S
Chromosomes replicate in which stage of meiosis?
Prophase- I
Prophase- II
Telophase- I
Interphase
D.
Interphase
Interphase is a phase of cell cycle where cell prepares itself for division. It consists of 3 phases: G1 phase, S phase and G2 phase.
During S or Synthesis phase, all the chromosomes get replicated. Each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids.
In eukaryotic DNA, histone and non- histone proteins are known as chromatin. It consists of thread- like structures known as chromosomes. Hence, the replication of DNA in the chromosomes initiates in S- phase of interphase.
In which stage of cell division chromosomes are most condensed
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Which phase comes in between the G1 and G2 phases of cell cycle?
M - phase
G0 - phase
S - phase
Interphase
Cell division cannot be stopped in which phase of the cell cycle?
G1- phase
G2- phase
S- phase
