Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In which stage of the cell cycle does the cell grow in size?
A
G1
B
S
C
G2
D
Mitosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Interphase is composed of G1 phase (cell growth), followed by S phase (DNA synthesis), followed by G2 phase (cell growth).

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: -There are two stages in the cell cycle marked by the replication of organelles and protein synthesis: G1 and G2. G1 follows mitosis and allows the cell to grow. G2 occurs just before mitosis, and ensures that both daughter cells will have adequate organelles.
