Question

G1, S, and G2 combine to make up ____, the nondividing phase of the cell cycle.

A) M phase
B) Interphase
C) Anaphase
D) Telophase

Answer 1

G1, S, and G2 are the stages of Interphase, which is the nondividing phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division.

Step-by-step explanation:

The stages G1, S, and G2 combine to make up Interphase, the nondividing phase of the cell cycle. Interphase is the period when the cell undergoes normal growth processes and prepares for cell division. The phases include G1 Phase (First Gap), where the cell grows and accumulates the building blocks of chromosomal DNA, S Phase (Synthesis), where DNA replication occurs, and G2 Phase (Second Gap), where the cell grows further and prepares for cell division. After interphase, the cell enters into the mitotic phase, which includes mitosis (or karyokinesis) and cytokinesis.
