CELL DIVISION AND CANCEROUS CELLS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ happens in G1
A
The first gap, the cell is growing and developing
B
The DNA doubles
C
The second gap, the cell is doing its job
D
The cell divides
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During G1 phase, the cell grows in size and synthesizes mRNA and protein that are required for DNA synthesis. Once the required proteins and growth are complete, the cell enters the next phase of the cell cycle, S phase . The duration of each phase, including the G1 phase, is different in many different types of cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -During G 1start subscript, 1, end subscript phase, also called the first gap phase, the cell grows physically larger, copies organelles, and makes the molecular building blocks it will need in later steps.

Detailed explanation-3: -In G1, cells accomplish most of their growth; they get bigger in size and make proteins and organelles needed for normal functions of DNA synthesis. Here, proteins and RNAs are synthesized, and, more especially the centromere and the other components of the centrosomes are made.

Detailed explanation-4: -G1 phase (Gap 1) – G1 phase is the phase of the cell between mitosis and initiation of replication of the genetic material of the cell. During this phase, the cell is metabolically active and continues to grow without replicating its DNA.
