During what stage of the cell cycle would you expect to see the least amount of cellular growth and synthesis taking place?
|
|
S
|
|
|
G1
|
|
|
G2
|
|
|
M
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The M phase is also known as mitosis and it is the time when the cell is ready to divide. At this stage the cell has successfully synthesized proteins and replicated its DNA also. So, no growth and synthesis is not priorities.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis, during which the cell makes preparations for and completes cell division only takes about 2 hours.
Detailed explanation-3: -Together, the G1, S, and G2 phases make up the period known as interphase. Cells typically spend far more time in interphase than they do in mitosis. Of the four phases, G1 is most variable in terms of duration, although it is often the longest portion of the cell cycle (Figure 1).
