NEETBotanyCell Cycle and Cell Division
What happens during the cell division process?
Options
- ADNA replication and cell growth
- BCell growth only
- CDNA replication only
- DNone of the above
Correct answer
A. DNA replication and cell growth
Step-by-step solution
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 cell cycle. Although cell growth (in terms of cytoplasmic increase) is a continuous process, DNA synthesis occurs only during one specific stage i
