NEET (UG) 2023 — Question 144

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Statement I and the other is labelled as Statement II :

Statement I: During G0\mathrm{G}_{0} phase of cell cycle, the cell is metabolically inactive.

Statement II: The centrosome undergoes duplication during SS phase of interphase.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  1. Option A:

    Both statement I and statement Il are correct.

  2. Option B:

    Statement I is correct and statement Il is incorrect.

  3. Option C:

    Statement I is incorrect and statement Il is correct.

    Correct
  4. Option D:

    Both statements 1 and statements ll are incorrect.

Answer: C

Step-by-step solution

Cells in the G0 stage remain metabolically active but no longer proliferate unless called on to

do so depending on the requirement of the organism. In animal cells, during the S-phase,

DNA replication begins in the nucleus, and the centriole duplicates in the cytoplasm.
