Q.

Following are the stages of cell division:       [2024]

A. Gap 2 phase

B. Cytokinesis

C. Synthesis phase

D. Karyokinesis

E. Gap 1 phase

Choose the correct sequence of stages from the options given below:

1 C-E-D-A-B  
2 E-B-D-A-C  
3 B-D-E-A-C  
4 E-C-A-D-B  

Ans.

(4)

The correct sequence is:

G1 phase (Gap 1) → S phase (Synthesis) → G2 phase (Gap 2) → Karyokinesis → Cytokinesis.
