Given are two statements:Statement I: During phase of cell cycle, the cell is metabolically inactive.Statement II: The centrosome undergoes duplication during S phase of interphase.In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer:

  1. A
    Both Statements I and II are correct
  2. B
    Both statements I and II are incorrect
  3. C
    Statement I is correct, but Statement II is incorrect
  4. D
    Statement I is incorrect, but Statement II is correct

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

1. Statement I is incorrect: Cells in the (quiescent) stage exit the cell cycle and stop dividing, but they remain metabolically active.2. Statement II is true: While DNA replicates in the nucleus during the S phase, the centrosome duplicates in the cytoplasm.
