Given graphs P, Q, R and S show four stages of cell cycle I.e., G1,S,G2 and M, but in random order. Identify the stages and match with the activities of the cell.

I. Taxol treatment, which prevents microtubule depolymerization, arrests the cell at this stage.

II. With a mitogen treatment, such as an epidermal growth factor, an arrested cell at this stage proceeds to the next stage of the cell cycle.

III. The cell cycle checkpoint at this stage confirms that DNA duplication is complete before the cell proceeds to the next stage.
