Question

categorize which part of interphase each step occurs.
options (6)
cell prepares to divide
chromosomes duplicated,
now consists of two
sister chromatids
cell growth & repair,
makes proteins &
organelles copied
dna replicated
(synthesized)
new dna checked for
mutations and fixed if
needed
checks status of cell &
dna before replicating

Explanation:

• G1 Phase: In this phase, the cell grows, repairs, makes proteins, and copies organelles. Also, it checks the status of the cell and DNA before replicating (as these are initial growth - related and pre - replication checks).
• S Phase: DNA replication (synthesis) occurs here. As a result, chromosomes are duplicated and now consist of two sister chromatids.
• G2 Phase: The cell prepares to divide. Also, new DNA is checked for mutations and fixed if needed (final preparations before cell division).

Answer:

• G1 Phase: cell growth & repair, makes proteins & organelles copied; Checks status of cell & DNA before replicating
• S Phase: DNA replicated (synthesized); Chromosomes duplicated, now consists of two sister chromatids
• G2 Phase: cell prepares to divide; New DNA checked for mutations and fixed if needed
