Question

30. A cell grows and carries out normal cell processes during which phase of thecell cycle?A. anaphaseB. interphaseC. metaphase

Answer 1

The cell cycle is made of 5 different phases:

• Gap 0 (G0) - Where the cell carries out normal cell processes

,

• Gap 1 (G1), - Where the cell grows in preparation for DNA synthesis

,

• Synthesis (S), - Where DNA replication takes place

,

• Gap 2 (G2), - Where the cell grows in anticipation of mitosis

,

• Mitosis (M), - The process of cell division.

The Gs and S phases are collectively known as interphase, so B, interphase, would be the right answer.
