Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which choice best describes the cell cycle?
A
Cells grow and develop duringinterphase. Cells reproduce during the mitotic phase.
B
Cells grow and develop during the mitotic phase. Cells reproduce during interphase.
C
The nucleus of a cell divides duringinterphase. The cytoplasm of a cell divides during the mitotic phase.
D
The nucleus of a cell divides during the mitotic phase. The cytoplasm of a cell divides interphase.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: a. Cells grow and develop during interphase. Cells reproduce during the mitotic phase.

Detailed explanation-2: -Interphase is composed of G1 phase (cell growth), followed by S phase (DNA synthesis), followed by G2 phase (cell growth).

Detailed explanation-3: -Cell Cycle 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-4: -The period between mitotic divisions-that is, G1, S and G2-is known as interphase.
