Question

Which of the following statement is incorrect about the cell cycle?

• A. It consists of mitosis and interphase
• B. The cell's DNA replicates during G${}_1$ phase
• C. A cell can remain in G${}_1$ phase for weeks or much longer
• D. Most proteins are formed throughout all subphases of interphase

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

The cell's DNA replicates during G${}_1$ phase

A typical cell cycle consists of interphase and mitosis. The interphase consists of G${}_1$ phase, G${}_2$ phase and S phase. During interphase, the cell prepares itself for division. The DNA replication occurs during S phase.

So, the correct answer is option B.
