Question:

The stages of cell cycle during germ cell formation is-

(A). Meiosis I anaphase
(B). Meiosis II anaphase
(C). G1
(D). G2

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

(A), (B), (C), (D)

(A), (C), (B), (D)

(C), (D), (A), (B)

(C), (B), (D), (A)

Correct Answer:

(C), (D), (A), (B)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → (C), (D), (A), (B) 

The correct sequence of stages in the cell cycle during germ cell formation (gametogenesis) involves both mitotic and meiotic phases. Germ cells are produced through meiosis, which reduces the chromosome number by half. The cell cycle stages leading to and including meiosis are:

  1. G1 phase (Gap 1): Cell growth and preparation for DNA replication.
  2. G2 phase (Gap 2): Preparation for cell division (after DNA replication in S phase).
  3. Meiosis I: Includes prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, and telophase I. Anaphase I is when homologous chromosomes separate.
  4. Meiosis II: Includes prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, and telophase II. Anaphase II is when sister chromatids separate.

So, the correct order is : G1 (C) → G2 (D) → Meiosis I anaphase (A) → Meiosis II anaphase (B)
