CELL DAMAGE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Interphase contains three stages, including the G1 and G2 stages. Which of the following occurs during these gap stages?
A
separation of chromosomes
B
cellular growth
C
DNA replication
D
viral transformation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Interphase is composed of G1 phase (cell growth), followed by S phase (DNA synthesis), followed by G2 phase (cell growth). At the end of interphase comes the mitotic phase, which is made up of mitosis and cytokinesis and leads to the formation of two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle in which a typical cell spends most of its life. Interphase is the ‘daily living’ or metabolic phase of the cell, in which the cell obtains nutrients and metabolizes them, grows, replicates its DNA in preparation for mitosis, and conducts other “normal” cell functions.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
