Question

Replication of centriole occurs during :

• A. interphase
• B. prophase
• C. late prophase
• D. late celophase

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 $G_1$-phase of interphase. DNA replication takes place in S-phase of interphase.
