    Sub-divisions in cell cycle are

    A) \[S,\,{{G}_{2}},\,M\] and \[{{G}_{1}}\]

    B)        \[{{G}_{1}},\,S,\,{{G}_{2}}\] and M              

    C)        \[S,\,M,\,{{G}_{1}}\] and \[{{G}_{1}}\]

    D)        \[{{G}_{2}},\,{{G}_{1}},\,M\] and S

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Howard and Pelc (1953) have divided cell cycle into four phages or stages ie, \[{{G}_{1}},\,S,\,{{G}_{2}}\] and M phase in order. \[{{G}_{1}}\] is the first gap or first growth phase. This phase involves transcripton of 3 types of RNAs ie, rRNA, tRNA and mRNA. S phase is the synthetic phase. The replication of DNA and synthesis of histone proteins occur during this phase. \[{{G}_{2}}\] is the second gap or growth phase. The synthesis of RNA and proteins continue in this phase, which is required for cell growth. M-phase including mitosis and meiosis. The mitosis occurs in somatic cells whereas meiosis in germ cells.
