Question

Which of these is the correct order of events in the cell cycle?

(a) G1 → G2 → S → M

(b) G1 → G2 → M → S

(c) G1 → S → G2 → M

(d) S → M → G1 → G2

This question was posed to me in an interview for job.

The query is from Cell Cycle in portion Cell Cycle and Cell Division of Biology – Class 11

Answer 1

The correct answer is (c) G1 → S → G2 → M

To elaborate: The cell cycle starts with the first gap phase or G1, followed by the synthesis phase or S phase. This is followed by the second gap phase or G2. These are parts of the interphase, which is then followed by the M phase.
