The diagram below shows a cell cycle. Which of the following process occur during V?
Options
- AReplication of DNA
- BReplication of centrioles
- CChromosomes condense and become shorter and thicker
- DHigh metabolic rate and synthesis of proteins and cellular organelles
Correct answer
D. High metabolic rate and synthesis of proteins and cellular organelles
Step-by-step solution
In the given diagram, the 'V' labeled phase is the G 1 phase. G 1 phase marks the start of interphase. G 1 phase is the metabolically active phase and during this phase, the cell grows in size. Synthesis of mRNA and protein of DNA synthesis occurs in this phase.
