Q. Given below is a schematic break-up of the phases/stages of cell cycle.

Which one of the following is the correct indication of the stage/phase in the cell cycle?

A) B-Metaphase
B) C-Karyokinesis
C) D-Synthetic phase
D) A-Cytokinesis
Explanation

Cell cycle completes in two steps- Interphase and M-phase. Interphase is completed in three successive phases $G_{1}$-phase (post-mitotic phase), S-phase (synthetic phase) and $G_{2}$-phase (pre-mitotic or post-synthetic phase). In the given figure, D is representing the S-phase (synthesis phase) of cell cycle.
