Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During what phase of the cell cycle does the cell first (1st) grow?
A
G1 phase
B
S phase
C
M phase
D
Cytokinesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Interphase is composed of G1 phase (cell growth), followed by S phase (DNA synthesis), followed by G2 phase (cell growth). At the end of interphase comes the mitotic phase, which is made up of mitosis and cytokinesis and leads to the formation of two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -The G1 phase, gap 1 phase, or growth 1 phase, is the first of four phases of the cell cycle that takes place in eukaryotic cell division. In this part of interphase, the cell synthesizes mRNA and proteins in preparation for subsequent steps leading to mitosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Interphase is divided into the first growth (G1), Synthesis (S), and the second growth (G2) phases (figure 1). The growth phases are, as you may have suspected, for the growth of the cell, during the synthesis phase the DNA replication occurs in preparation for the second growth phase.

Detailed explanation-4: -Assertion :G1-phase is also called anaphase, as during this phase the cell stores ATP for cell division. Reason: Cell produces structural and functional proteins.

Detailed explanation-5: -G1 phase is the first phase out of the four phases (G1, S, G2, M phases) of the cell cycle. It is a part of the interphase, where the cells synthesizes mRNA and proteins in preparation for subsequent steps leading to cell division.
