Question

2 a diagram of a process that occurs during one of the stages of the cell cycle is shown. which answer choice best identifies the process illustrated and the stage of the cell cycle in which it occurs? dna helicase dna polymerase process protein synthesis process crossing over process cytokinesis process replication cell cycle stage prophase cell cycle stage metaphase cell cycle stage anaphase cell cycle stage interphase

Explanation:

The diagram shows DNA helicase unwinding the DNA double - helix and DNA polymerase synthesizing new DNA strands. This is characteristic of DNA replication. DNA replication occurs during the S phase of interphase in the cell cycle. Protein synthesis occurs during different stages (not related to this diagram's main process). Crossing - over is a part of meiosis (not depicted here). Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm (not relevant to the DNA - related process in the diagram).

Answer:

Process: Replication; Cell Cycle Stage: Interphase
