CELL CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The first phase of a cell cycle where a cell is doing its normal every day job, growing, and increasing the number of its organelles is:
A
G1
B
G2
C
Mitosis
D
S
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Interphase . During interphase, the cell undergoes normal processes while also preparing for cell division.

Detailed explanation-2: -Initially in G1 phase, the cell grows physically and increases the volume of both protein and organelles. In S phase, the cell copies its DNA to produce two sister chromatids and replicates its nucleosomes. Finally, G2 phase involves further cell growth and organisation of cellular contents.

Detailed explanation-3: -Growth Phase 1 (G1): The cell spends most of its life in the first gap (sometimes referred to as growth) phase, G1. During this phase, a cell undergoes rapid growth and performs its routine functions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Prophase-the first stage of mitosis.

Detailed explanation-5: -The G1 phase is often referred to as the growth phase, because this is the time in which a cell grows. During this phase, the cell synthesizes various enzymes and nutrients that are needed later on for DNA replication and cell division.
