Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In which phase of the cell cycle does the cell grow and prepare for DNA replication
A
G1
B
S
C
G2
D
M
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Interphase is the most important stage of cell cycle. The cell stays in the interphase for maximum periods. During this phase the cell prepares itself for division. The cell undergoes cell growth and replication during this phase.

Detailed explanation-2: -At the molecular level, however, interphase is the time during which both cell growth and DNA replication occur in an orderly manner in preparation for cell division. The cell grows at a steady rate throughout interphase, with most dividing cells doubling in size between one mitosis and the next.

Detailed explanation-3: -In G1, cells accomplish most of their growth; they get bigger in size and make proteins and organelles needed for normal functions of DNA synthesis. Here, proteins and RNAs are synthesized, and, more especially the centromere and the other components of the centrosomes are made.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The G1 phase stands for gap 1 and is when organelles replicate and the cell grows. The S phase stands for synthesis and is when DNA is replicated.
