THE CELL CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Put the following actions in order:DNA replicates, cell grows, cell divides, cell prepares for mitosis.
A
DNA replicates, cell grows, cell prepares for mitosis, cell divides
B
cell grows, cell prepares for mitosis, DNA replicates, cell divides
C
cell grows, DNA replicates, cell prepares for mitosis, cell divides
D
DNA replicates, cell prepares for mitosis, cell grows, cell divides
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -First the cell grows. Then, DNA replication occurs. After the DNA replication, the cell then prepares for mitosis. After mitosis, cell division occurs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is conventionally divided into 5 phases, which include prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase and cytokinesis.

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: -It occurs in three main stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. Recall that eukaryotic DNA is bound to proteins known as histones to form structures called nucleosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis. metaphase, prometaphase, prophase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis.
