Q. Given below are two statements: Statement I: During G$_0$ phase of cell cycle the cell is metabolically inactive Statement II: The centrosome undergoes duplication during S phase of interphase. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the option below:
A) Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
B) Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
C) Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
D) Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
