Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the main stage in which the cell grows, carries out its normal functions, and duplicates its DNA
A
cytokinesis
B
meiosis
C
interphase
D
mitosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle in which a typical cell spends most of its life. Interphase is the ‘daily living’ or metabolic phase of the cell, in which the cell obtains nutrients and metabolizes them, grows, replicates its DNA in preparation for mitosis, and conducts other “normal” cell functions.

Detailed explanation-2: -During interphase, the cell grows and the nuclear DNA is duplicated. Interphase is followed by the mitotic phase. During the mitotic phase, the duplicated chromosomes are segregated and distributed into daughter nuclei.

Detailed explanation-3: -Interphase. Interphase is the process of the cell cycle in which the cell carries out its ordinary functions, and is when the chromosomes replicate.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -In the eukaryotic cell cycle, chromosome duplication occurs during “S phase” (the phase of DNA synthesis) and chromosome segregation occurs during “M phase” (the mitosis phase).
