At what stage of the cell cycle are histone proteins synthesized in a eukaryotic cell ?

  1. A
    During entire prophase
  2. B
    During telophase
  3. C
    During S-phase
  4. D
    During G2 stage of prophase

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Histone proteins are synthesized during the S phase of the cell cycle. The S phase is the stage where DNA replication occurs, and histones are needed to package the newly synthesized DNA into chromatin. Therefore, the correct answer is option (C) During S-phase. Think of it this way: histones are essential for DNA packaging, and their synthesis is coordinated with DNA replication to ensure that the new DNA is properly packaged into chromatin.
