| Phase | Characteristics |
| G1 phase | The cell is metabolically most active, cell size increases and organelle duplication takes place in this phase. |
| S phase | In this phase, DNA replication, i.e. doubling of DNA content, histone and centriole duplication takes place. |
| G2 phase | In this phase, cytoplasmic growth takes place. |
| Metaphase in M−phase | In this stage, chromosomes are highly condensed and the alignment of chromosomes takes place at the metaphasic plate. |
Match the following events that occur in their respective phases of the cell cycle and select the correct option: Column-I Column-II (a) G_1 phase…
