The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

a. M Phase

b. G1 (Gap 1 Phase)

c. G2 (Gap 2 Phase)

d. S Phase

e. Metaphase

Answer:

B) G₁ (Gap 1 Phase)

Explanation:

A cell cycle is the set of events which take place during the division of a cell ans since the steps takes place in the cyclic manner, therefore, is known as cell cycle.

The cell cycle takes place in the interphase and M phase. The interphase is the phase during which the cell prepares itself for cell division and the phase takes place in the three subphases: G₁, S, G₂.

During the interphase, the phase which is marked by the high rate of transcription and translation is the G₁ phase as during this phase the cell synthesises the enzymes and various proteins required for DNA replication and division.

Thus, G₁ phase is the correct answer.
