Multiple choice

At which stage of the cell cycle do histone proteins synthesise in a eukaryotic cell?

  1. During the S-phase

  2. During the prophase II

  3. During the telophase

  4. During the G-2 stage of prophase

  5. During the metaphase II

A Correct answer
Explanation

During the S phase or synthetic phase the replication of DNA takes place. For replication of DNA histone proteins are required, so they are also synthesised during this phase. It takes about 30%-50% of the total cell cycle.
