Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is the phase where cells do most of their growing, increase in size and make new proteins and organelles
A
G1 Phase
B
G2 Phase
C
S Phase
D
Interphase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -A cell spends most of its time in what is called interphase, and during this time it grows, replicates its chromosomes, and prepares for cell division.

Detailed explanation-3: -Interphase consists of three steps: G 1start subscript, 1, end subscript phase: first gap phase; the cell grows larger and organelles are copied. S phase: synthesis phase; the cell synthesizes a complete copy of the DNA in its nucleus.

Detailed explanation-4: -During interphase, the cell grows and makes a copy of its DNA.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
