Question

. What happens during the G1 phase of the cell cycle? The cell copies its entire DNA. The cell grows to its mature size. The cell reproduces its organelles. The cell divides into daughter cells.

Answer 1

The cell reproduces its organelles.

Step-by-step explanation:

G1 phase, S phase and G2 phase are collectively termed as interphase. Interphase is the phase in which cell enters just after it has been born by its mother cell. Its newborn and lacks essential things which are required for its proper functioning and maintenance. This all happens in interphase that prepares this newborn cell to perform advanced functions.

G1 phase is the first step of interphase which is also called as first gap phase,in which cell copies its organelles, grows physically big in size and formulates the molecular building blocks that it needs in later steps of the life cycle.

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

The correct answer is that the cell grows to its mature size.

Step-by-step explanation:

The G1 phase in combination with the S and the G2 phase forms the lengthened growth period of the cell cycle known as interphase, which occurs prior to the process of mitosis.

The G1 phase is generally considered as the growth phase, as this is the time duration in which growth of the cell takes place. During G1 phase, the cell produces various nutrients and enzymes, which are required afterward for the process of cell division and replication of DNA.
