Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the phases of the cell cycle is commonly known as growth phase?
A
G0
B
G1
C
G2
D
S
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Interphase. G1 phase (Gap 1) – G1 phase is the phase of the cell between mitosis and initiation of replication of the genetic material of the cell. During this phase, the cell is metabolically active and continues to grow without replicating its DNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -G2 phase is a period of rapid cell growth and protein synthesis during which the cell prepares itself for mitosis. Curiously, G2 phase is not a necessary part of the cell cycle, as some cell types (particularly young Xenopus embryos and some cancers) proceed directly from DNA replication to mitosis.
