Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What does the cell cycle begin with?
A
Prophase
B
Metaphase
C
Interphase
D
Anaphase
E
Telophase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Interphase is the longest part of the cell cycle. This is when the cell grows and copies its DNA before moving into mitosis. During mitosis, chromosomes will align, separate, and move into new daughter cells. The prefix inter-means between, so interphase takes place between one mitotic (M) phase and the next.

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. The cell then leaves interphase, undergoes mitosis, and completes its division.

Detailed explanation-3: -G1phase-The first phase of interphase. It begins with growing of cells and producing more proteins in the cell. It ends with large cytoplasm and more cell organelles. S phase-The second is synthesis phase in which DNA is duplicated.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cell cycle is a series of changes the cell goes through from the time it is first formed until it divides into two daughter cells. It starts at mitosis (M-phase) and ends with mitosis.
