Question

Read the following statements and select the incorrect statements.
(i) The cytoplasmic increase is not a discontinuous process
(ii) The cell cycle is not a genetically controlled process
(iii) Synthesis phase synthesizes cell organelles only
(iv) Interphase is not metabolically inactive

• A. (i) and (ii)
• B. (ii) and (iii)
• C. (iii) and (iv)
• D. (iii) and (i)

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Cell growth during cell division is a continuous process and occurs through cell cycle, but interphase is the metabolically the most active phase. The cell cycle is a genetically controlled process. Synthesis of organelle occurs during the G1 phase and DNA replication occurs only during S-phase of the cell cycle.
