MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following occurs during the interphase stage of the cell cycle?I. DNA is replicated.II. The cell divides.III. The cell grows in size.
A
I and III only
B
I, II, and III
C
II only
D
I and II only
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During interphase, the cell grows and DNA is replicated. During the mitotic phase, the replicated DNA and cytoplasmic contents are separated and the cell divides.

Detailed explanation-2: -During interphase, the cell grows and makes a copy of its DNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -The S phase of a cell cycle occurs during interphase, before mitosis or meiosis, and is responsible for the synthesis or replication of DNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -Interphase is the longest stage in the eukaryote cell cycle. During interphase, the cell acquires nutrients, creates and uses proteins and other molecules, and starts the process of cell division by replicating the DNA.

Detailed explanation-5: -S phase is the period during which DNA replication occurs.
