Detailed explanation-1: -During the G1 phase, the cell grows in size and synthesizes the cellular contents. Cells in the G1 phase do not divide, rather make preparations to divide. DNA replicates in S phase and overall cell growth is observed in G2 phase.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Interphase is composed of G1 phase (cell growth), followed by S phase (DNA synthesis), followed by G2 phase (cell growth). At the end of interphase comes the mitotic phase, which is made up of mitosis and cytokinesis and leads to the formation of two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Final answer: Cell is metabolically active, grows but does not replicate its DNA is the correct statement.

Detailed explanation-5: -Prophase is the first phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. During prophase, the complex of DNA and proteins contained in the nucleus, known as chromatin, condenses.
