|
|
the cell replicates DNA for the cell cycle to proceed
|
|
|
the cell gets smaller to prepare for cytokinesis
|
|
|
the cell gets larger and synthesizes proteins to prepare for the next stage:cell division
|
|
|
the cell gets larger and synthesizes proteins that are needed for synthesis to occur

Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -This phase is followed by the G1 phase (gap 1), which corresponds to the interval (gap) between mitosis and initiation of DNA replication. During G1, the cell is metabolically active and continuously grows but does not replicate its DNA. G1 is followed by S phase (synthesis), during which DNA replication takes place.
Detailed explanation-3: -G1 phase (Gap 1)-Cellular contents excluding the chromosomes, are duplicated. II. S phase (DNA Synthesis)-Each of the 46 chromosomes are duplicated by the cell.
Detailed explanation-4: -cell increases in size (gap 1, or G1, stage), copies its DNA (synthesis, or S, stage), prepares to divide (gap 2, or G2, stage), and divides (mitosis, or M, stage). The stages G1, S, and G2 make up interphase, which accounts for the span between cell divisions.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
