Question

"The diagram shows a cell that has just doubled its genetic material. Which statement correctly describes the cell's current stage in the cell cycle?

A) The cell is in cytokinesis.
B) The cell is in interphase.
C) The cell is in meiosis.
D) The cell is in mitosis. "

Answer 1

I believe the answer is B.

Answer 2

The correct answer would be B) The cell is in interphase.

In a cell cycle, the replication of DNA takes place in the synthesis or S phase of the interphase.

During this phase, the DNA content of cell gets doubled which is essential for equal distribution of DNA in two daughter cells.

After S phase, the cell enters the gap 2 or G2 phase during cell grows in size and synthesize proteins required for mitosis or M phase.
