During what stage of the cell cycle would you expect to have the lowest amount of cellular growth and synthesis taking place?
|
|
G2 Phase
|
|
|
Mitosis
|
|
|
G1 Phase
|
|
|
S Phase
|
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: -Only G1 phase precedes the S phase and has half the amount of DNA as the rest of the cell cycle; therefore, cells in the G1 phase have the least amount of DNA.
Detailed explanation-3: -In anaphase, the shortest stage of mitosis, the sister chromatids break apart, and the chromosomes begin moving to opposite ends of the cell.
