Explanation: The reason for this is the fact that the cell shriveled up. The shriveling was caused by water moving out of the cell. This movement is likely caused by a disbalance in solutes between the cell and the surrounding, with the surrounding containing a higher concentration of solutes. Diffusion tries to balance this by moving water out of the cell, thus increasing the concentration inside and reducing the concentration outside.
<em>I. G1 phase (Gap 1) - Cellular contents excluding the chromosomes, are duplicated. II. S phase (DNA Synthesis) - Each of the 46 chromosomes is duplicated by the cell.</em>
