Question

During $G_1$ phase, cells

• A. grow
• B. synthesize cellular contents
• C. do not divide
• D. all of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D all of the above

Interphase is a non-dividing phase that includes $G_1$, S and $G_2$ phases. During the $G_1$ phase, the cell grows in size and synthesizes the cellular contents. Cells in the $G_1$ phase do not divide, rather make preparations to divide. DNA replicates in S phase and overall cell growth is observed in $G_2$ phase.
