THE CELL CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cells grow, carry out normal functions, and copy their organelles.
A
G1
B
S
C
G2
D
M phase
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. Here, proteins and RNAs are synthesized, and, more especially the centromere and the other components of the centrosomes are made.

Detailed explanation-2: -The G1 phase stands for gap 1 and is when organelles replicate and the cell grows. The S phase stands for synthesis and is when DNA is replicated.

Detailed explanation-3: -Initially in G1 phase, the cell grows physically and increases the volume of both protein and organelles. In S phase, the cell copies its DNA to produce two sister chromatids and replicates its nucleosomes. Finally, G2 phase involves further cell growth and organisation of cellular contents.

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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis: soul undergo cell division which involves both mitosis and cytokinesis. A cell carries out its normal functions. It also increases in size in the organelles increase in number.
