Question

State whether the statements are true/false.

(iii) The nucleus in a cell has maximum size during interphase.

Answer 1

Answer: True​

• Interphase is divided into 3 stages: G1 phase, S phase and G2 phase.
• DNA synthesis takes place in the S phase. S phase or the synthesis phase is the part of the cell cycle in which DNA is replicated and thus the nucleus grows in size due to the content being doubled.
• It occurs between the G1 phase and G2 phase of the cell cycle.
