SSC CGL 2022 Tier-I Official Paper (Held On : 01 Dec 2022 Shift 2)

Answer 1

The correct answer is In the M phase, the cell grows physically larger and copies organelles.

Key Points

The ordered sequence of events that occur in a cell in preparation for cell division is called the cell cycle.
The cell cycle is divided into two phases:
- Interphase
- M Phase
The M Phase represents the phase when the actual cell division occurs.
The Interphase represents the phase between two successive M phases.

Additional Information

The Interphase is divided into three further phases;
- G1 Phase
- S Phase
- G2 Phase
During the G1 phase, the cell is metabolically active and continuously grows but does not replicate its DNA.
S or Synthesis phase marks the period during which DNA synthesis or replication takes place
During the G2 phase, proteins are synthesized in preparation for mitosis while cell growth continues.
