NEETBotanyCell Cycle and Cell Division
How does cell growth occur during the cell cycle?
Options
- ABy the formation of new cells
- BBy the division of existing cells
- CBy the duplication of DNA
- DBy the synthesis of new cell components
Correct answer
D. By the synthesis of new cell components
Step-by-step solution
Cell division is a very important process in all living organisms. During the division of a cell, DNA replication and cell growth also take place. All these processes, i.e., cell division, DNA replication, and cell growth, hence, have to take place in a coordinated way to ensure correct division and formation of progeny cells containing intact genomes. The sequence of events by which a cell duplicates its genome, synthesises the other constituents of the cell and eventually divides into two daughter cells is termed
