Which is synthesized in G1 phase ?

  • DNA polymerase

  • Histones

  • Nucleolar DNA

  • Tubulin protein


A.

DNA polymerase

Cell cycle is divided into 4 phases, namely, G1, S, G2 and M- phase.

DNA polymerase is synthesized in G1- phase. DNA and histones are synthsized during S- phase. Mitotic spindle begins to form during G2- phase. Karyokinesis and cytokinesis occur during M phase.
