Question

Choose the correct statements regarding cell cycle
I. Interphase is called the resting phase
II. Interphase is the time during which the cell is preparing for division
III. The interphase is divided into phases, i.e.,G_1, S and G_2-phase
IV. Interphase represents the phase between the two successive M-phases
The option with correct statements is

Mr. NARESH KUMAR K · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: B
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Cell Cycle
	**Related Topics**: Interphase, Mitosis, Cell Division
	**Prerequisites**: Basic understanding of cell biology and the stages of cell division.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	Statements about the interphase stage of the cell cycle.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. **Analyze each statement**: Evaluate each statement's accuracy based on the definition and function of interphase.
		Reasoning: Interphase is a crucial preparatory phase for cell division. It is not a resting phase, although it was initially thought to be so.
	2. **Identify correct statements**: Determine which statements accurately describe the interphase.
		Working: Statement II, III, and IV are correct. Statement I is incorrect.
		Key Point: Interphase is a period of intense metabolic activity and growth, where the cell replicates its DNA and organelles in preparation for division.
	3. **Match with options**: Select the option that contains all the correct statements.
		Result: Option B (II, III, and IV) is the correct answer.
		Verification: All other options include the incorrect statement I.
## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] :x: Includes the incorrect statement I (Interphase is called the resting phase).
[B] ✓: Contains all correct statements (II, III, and IV).
[C] :x: Includes the incorrect statement I (Interphase is called the resting phase).
[D] :x: Includes the incorrect statement I (Interphase is called the resting phase).
## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1. Considering interphase as a resting phase: Interphase is a period of intense metabolic activity and preparation for cell division, not a resting phase.
			How to avoid: Remember that the cell grows, replicates DNA, and synthesizes proteins during interphase.
		2. Confusing the stages of interphase: Interphase comprises G_1, S, and G_2 phases, each with specific functions.
			How to avoid: Understand the distinct roles of each phase: G_1 (cell growth), S (DNA replication), and G_2 (preparation for mitosis).
	**Quick Tips**:
		1. Remember 'IPMAT' (Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase) as a general sequence of the cell cycle.
		2. Visualize interphase as the 'preparation phase' before the actual cell division (M phase).
