Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the stage of cell cycle where the cell starts to grow and the growth is mostly attributed to the doubling of water content, the organelles, and other biomolecules?
A
G2 phase
B
G1 phase
C
Synthesis Phase
D
G0 phase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So the correct answer is the ‘G1 phase’.

Detailed explanation-2: -So the correct answer is the ‘G1 phase’.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cell Cycle A cell spends most of its time in what is called interphase, and during this time it grows, replicates its chromosomes, and prepares for cell division. The cell then leaves interphase, undergoes mitosis, and completes its division.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -The growth and division of a cell is orchestrated into a highly controlled and ordered process called the cell cycle. The cell cycle contains 4 stages; Gap 1 (G1) phase, synthesis (S) phase, gap 2 (G2) phase and mitosis (M) phase.
