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 options given below:

1. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.

2. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.

3. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.

Best answer

Answer: 1. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.

Key idea: G0 is a quiescent stage, not a dead stage.

  • Statement I is incorrect: in G0 the cell is metabolically active but does not divide.
  • Statement II is correct: the centrosome duplicates in S phase.

Option 1.
