CELL DAMAGE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A cell spends most of its life:
A
Growing and performing its function(s)
B
Replicating its DNA
C
In mitosis
D
In cytokinesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Interphase is the longest phase of the cell cycle. During this phase the cell grows to its maximum size, performs its normal cellular functions, replicates its DNA, and prepares for cell division.

Detailed explanation-3: -A typical cell spends the majority of its time in interphase, which is the phase of the cell cycle. The metabolic or “everyday life” phase of the cell is known as the interphase, during which the cell develops, replicates its DNA in order to be ready for mitosis, and does other “typical” cell operations.

Detailed explanation-4: -The phase in which a cell spends most of its life is interphase.

Detailed explanation-5: -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. During this phase, the biosynthetic and metabolic activities of the cell occur at a high rate.
