The below image summarises the cell cycle of a typical eukaryotic cell. Using the image as a reference, determine the activities occurring at the G 1 phase of the cell cycle.

Step-by-step solution

G 1 phase is part of the interphase in the cell cycle process of a eukaryotic cell. G 1 phase is the stage between mitosis and initiation of DNA replication (S phase). In the G 1 phase, the cell is found to be metabolically active and shows continuous growth. S or synthesis phase is where DNA synthesis or replication takes place in the cell.
