Question

what is the g1 phase?
the phase of the cell cycle where cells continue to grow and make final preparations to divide
the first phase of the cell cycle where cells grow and prepare to divide
a state where cells perform their normal functions without preparing to divide
the phase of the cell cycle where cells synthesize, or create, an identical copy of their dna

Explanation:

The cell cycle consists of several phases. The G1 phase is the first phase of the interphase (a part of the cell cycle). In this phase, cells grow in size, synthesize proteins and other molecules, and prepare for DNA replication (which occurs in the S - phase).

• The first option describes the G2 phase (not G1).
• The third option describes the G0 phase.
• The fourth option describes the S - phase.

Answer:

The first phase of the cell cycle where cells grow and prepare to divide.
