Ans.

The cell cycle includes a series of events that results in the formation of daughter cells from a single parent cell. These events include interphase, followed by M phase. The interphase consists of three phases, G0 (Gap 0) phase, G1 phase, S (synthesis) phase, G2 phase, while the M phase consists two phases, karyokinesis (mitotic or meiotic phase) and cytokinesis. At the end of cell cycle, cell enters into G0 phase again and the cycle goes subsequently.

The sequesnce of cell cycle events can be written as follows:

G0→G1→S→G2→M→G0→G1→

Thus, according to the cell cycle sequence, these terms can be matched as:

1. When a cell finishes its mitotic division, it enters to G0 phase, which is also known as rest phase. Thus, statement 1. matches with G0 phase.

2. The period between end of mitosis and synthesis of genetic material for next mitotic division shows G1 phase, in which cell prepares itself for division. Thus, statement 2. matches with G1 phase.

3. The period of interphase between synthesis of new genetic material and the beginning of mitosis is G2. Thus, statement 3. matches with G2 phase.

4. The period between two mitotic division is interphase. Thus, statement 4. matches with interphase.

5. The period of cell division, during which a cell is performing actual cell division is M phase. Thus, statement 5. matches with M phase.

6. The period of interphase, during which genetic material gets doubled is synthesis or S phase. Thus, statement 6. matches with S phase.
