Question

Replication of centriole occurs during

• A. imerphase
• B. prophase
• C. late prophase
• D. late telophase

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Cell division consists of nuclear division and cytoplasmic division. Karyokinesis is the stage of nuclear division and divided into four stages, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. Interphase is a stage prior to karyokinesis. It has three phase $G_{1,}S,G_2.$ Replication of centriole occurs during ${\text{G}}_{\text{1}}\text{-}$ phase of interphase. DNA replication takes place in S-phase of inter phase.
