The correct answer is: (a)-(i), (b)-(ii), (c)-(iii), (d)-(iv)
Phase Characteristics
G1 phase The cell is metabolically most active, cell size increases and organelle duplication takes place in this phase.
S phase In this phase, DNA replication, i.e. doubling of DNA content, histone and centriole duplication takes place.
G2 phase In this phase, cytoplasmic growth takes place.
Metaphase in M-phase In this stage, chromosomes are highly condensed and the alignment of chromosomes takes place at the metaphasic plate.
