Q8. During G1 phase of the cell cycle a) the cell is metabolically active b) the cell continuously grows c) DNA replication takes place d) both a) and b)

Q11. Which is the longest phase of cell cycle a) G1 b) S c) G2 d) M

Q12. The restriction point (R), also known as G1/S checkpoint, is a cell cycle checkpoint in the G1 phase of the animal cell cycle at which the cell becomes "committed" to the cell cycle, and after which extracellular signals are no longer required to stimulate proliferation. a) True b) False
