Detailed explanation-2: -A cell grows during the G1 phase of the cell cycle. During this phase, more organelles are produced, a high amount of protein synthesis occurs and the volume of the cytoplasm increases. The cell continues to grow further in the G2 phase.

Detailed explanation-3: -G1 phase (Gap 1) – G1 phase is the phase of the cell between mitosis and initiation of replication of the genetic material of the cell. During this phase, the cell is metabolically active and continues to grow without replicating its DNA.
