Identify the correct statement with regard to G phase (Gap 1) of interphase.
Reorganisation of all cell components takes place.
Cell is metabolically active, grows but does not replicate its DNA.
Nuclear Division takes place.
DNA synthesis or replication takes place.
To solve this problem, we need to identify the correct statement regarding the G phase of interphase. Let's analyze each option:Option 1: Reorganisation of all cell components takes place. - This statement is incorrect. The reorganization of cell components is not a characteristic of the G phase.Option 2: Cell is metabolically active, grows but does not replicate its DNA. - This statement is correct. During the G phase, the cell is metabolically active and grows in size, but DNA replication does not occur until the S phase.Option 3: Nuclear Division takes place. - This statement is incorrect. Nuclear division occurs during mitosis, not during the G phase.Option 4: DNA synthesis or replication takes place. - This statement is incorrect. DNA synthesis occurs during the S phase, not the G phase.Therefore, the correct statement regarding the G phase is:Option 2: Cell is metabolically active, grows but does not replicate its DNA.This corresponds to the correct option, which is Option 2.
