Question

Which of the following is a stage of interphase is characterized by an increase in the number of cell organelle?

• A. G${}_1$
• B. S
• C. G${}_2$
• D. G${}_0$

Answer 1

The correct option is A G${}_1$

A cell cycle is divided into two phases, namely interphase and mitosis. Interphase is divided into G${}_1$ phase, S phase, G${}_2$ phase. It also has G${}_0$ phase. In G${}_1$ phase, the cell increases in size. It is characterized by an increase in the number of cell organelle. In S phase, DNA replication takes place. It is also called as synthesis phase. In G${}_2$ phase, cell continues to grow. It ensures that cell is ready to enter into the M phase. G${}_0$ phase is the resting phase where cell does not divide.

Thus, the correct answer is 'G${}_1$.'
