Amino acids are substituted methane
Amino acids have an amino group and acidic group as substituent on the -carbon
There are four substituent groups occupying the four valency positions

Which of the following phases correspond to the interval between mitosis and initiation of DNA replication?
S phase
G1 phase
G2 phase
M phase
M phase
B.
G1 phase
The G1 phase or Gap-1 phase is the first four phases of cell cycle that takes places in eukaryotic cell division. In this part of interphase, the cell synthesizes mRNA and proteins in preparation of subsequent steps leading to mitosis. G1 phase ends when the cell moves into the S phase of interphase.

Meiosis involves pairing of homologous chromosomes
Two cycles of DNA replication occur during meiosis
Three is recombination between the paired homologous chromosomes
