Question

A body cell is in the longest stage of its life cycle. The cell grows, synthesizing proteins and increasing in size. Eventually, the cell will grow too large to carry out normal activities and begin mitosis. Which phase is the cell in? G2 Cytokinesis G1 S

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- G₂ phase.

Explanation:

A cell cycle represents the sequence of events associated with the division of the cell cytoplasm and the nucleus.

The cell cycle proceeds in two main phases: the interphase and the M-phase. The interphase is divided into 3 phases in which cell divides for the division which are: G₁, S and G₂ phases.

In the given question, the cell grows large enough and is ready for mitosis shows that cell is in G₂ phase which was preceded by S phase and succeeded by the M phase or mitotic phase.

Thus, G₂ phase is the correct answer.
