Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If the cell cycle did not have an S-Phase, which of the following would be true?
A
The cell would function normally
B
The cell would grow and divide
C
DNA would not be replicated
D
Cytokinesis would still occur
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cell cycle will not proceed to the next stage. Due to which the subsequent division will not happen. This will lead to cell death.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitotic cell division cannot take place without DNA replication in S phase. Two important events take place during S phase – one is the synthesis or duplication of DNA and the other is the duplication of the centriole. DNA duplication is important as it maintains the chromosome number in the daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: Nuclear division does not occur in the S phase of the cell cycle.
