Question

During a section of the cell cycle collectively called ______, the cell is not dividing, but protein synthesis, cell growth, DNA replication, and basic cell functions are occurring.

Answer 1

INTERPHASE

Step-by-step explanation:

The cell cycle refers to the series of event from DNA replication to actual division of a cell. Mitosis and meiosis are the two types of cell division, which is made up of two stages namely: interphase and the M-phase.

The interphase is also called resting stage because the cell is not undergoing any division. The interphase is further divided into G1, S and G2 phases. In these stages, the events that occurs include; protein synthesis, cell growth, DNA replication, and basic cell functions.
