CELL DIVISION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In which stage are cells prepared for cell division?
A
cytokinesis
B
interphase
C
karyokinesis
D
s phase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are three stages in the interphase, the cell grows in the G1 phase, DNA synthesis takes place in S phase and synthesis of proteins and growth continues in G2. At the end of the interphase, the cell is fully prepared for the division and enters the M phase of the cell cycle.

Detailed explanation-2: -G1 is the stage where the cell is preparing to divide. To do this, it then moves into the S phase where the cell copies all the DNA. So, S stands for DNA synthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Interphase is the longest part of the cell cycle. This is when the cell grows and copies its DNA before moving into mitosis. During mitosis, chromosomes will align, separate, and move into new daughter cells. The prefix inter-means between, so interphase takes place between one mitotic (M) phase and the next.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
