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

I need to ask this question from Cell Cycle in division Cell Cycle and Cell Division of Biology – Class 11

Answer 1

Correct choice is (c) G1 phase

Easy explanation: G1 phase or gap 1 phase is the interval between the end of mitosis or M phase and the beginning of the replication or the synthesis of DNA in the synthesis phase. G2 phase follows the S phase.
