Question

Which of the following accurately pairs the phase of the cell cycle with its primary purpose? A. S phase–DNA replication B. G2 phase–Cell growth before DNA replication C. M phase–Cell growth before DNA replication D. G1 phase–Cell division

Answer 1

The correct answer is option A, S Phase - DNA Replication

The DNA replication begin at the S phase of the cell cycle. In this phase, the cell grows and prepare itself for the DNA replication while the other components such as centro some undergo replication. The S phase occurs during the inter phase and the genetic material duplicates itself before entering the mitosis and meiosis cell division in the next stage.
