Answer: The smallest structure is the double helix while the largest is the chromosome.
2. G2 phase is the third stage in cellular division wherein the cell prepares itself for the M phase.
3. Interphase comprises of 3 phases, namely, G1 phase, G2 phase, and S phase.
4. Metaphase is known to take less amount of time to complete.
Explanation:
1. The double helix of the DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid, nucleosome, coil, supercoil, and the chromosomes are all linked to the DNA and they vary in their sizes. The nucleosome is known to be the basic unit of the eukaryotic chromosome that is composed of DNA coiled around the histones. The supercoils and coils indicate to the structures which are derived from the folding as well as wrapping of the structure of the DNA. The chromosome refers to the thread-like structure which is made up of nucleic acid and is observed in the nucleus of the living organisms.
2. Cell cycle refers to the cellular division of the cell; it is the series of events which occurs within a cell that results in duplication of the DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid as well as division of the cytoplasm and other organelles in order to generate two daughter cells. This cycle comprises of 4 phases, namely, G1, S, G2, and M phase.
The cell enters the G1 phase wherein the cell synthesizes the proteins as well as mRNA or messenger ribonucleic acid in preparation for the next upcoming phases which lead to mitosis. Next stage is the S phase wherein the synthesis of DNA takes place.
G2 phase is the next phase wherein the cell prepares itself by allowing it to grow as well as generate new proteins needed for the next phase called M phase. Mitosis is the final stage wherein the two identical daughter cells are made from one parent cell.
3. The cell cycle is broadly segregated into 3 phases, namely, interphase, M phase, and cytokinesis. Interphase is the longest stage of the cellular cycle and it comprises of 3 phases, G1 phase, S, and G2 phase. There is a G0 phase or quiescent phase. During the G1 phase, the cell prepares itself for the next phases of cell cycle, S phase involves synthesis of DNA, and G2 is the production of new proteins needed for the M phase.
4. During the mitotic phase, the parental cell segregates and produces 2 identical daughter cells. This phase is further segregated into prophase followed by metaphase, anaphase, and finally telophase. During metaphase, the chromosomes align themselves onto the equatorial or metaphase plate and the centrosomes prepare to segregate the sister chromatids. This phase takes only about 4% of the time needed to finish the entire cell cycle.
