Which phase of interphase is known as growth one or gap phase one?

• G1

• S

• G2

• M

What happens during the S phase of interphase?

• The cell grows and carries out its function

• The cell replicates its DNA

• The cell undergoes further preparations for cell division

• The cell divides its nucleus

What is the purpose of the G2 phase of interphase?

• To make a copy of DNA

• To carry out cell growth and function

• To undergo further preparations for cell division

• To divide the cytoplasm

What are the two events that occur during the M phase?

• Mitosis and cytokinesis

• DNA replication and cell growth

• Nuclear division and cytoplasm division

• Cell growth and function
