A body cell has been growing and synthesizing proteins. In the nucleus of this body cell, DNA replication is taking place, and a copy of the cell's genetic material is copied. Which of the following is the best conclusion you can make about the life cycle of this cell?

Sagot :

The best conclusion you can make about the life cycle of this cell is that the cell is in the S phase of interphase and will move next to the G2 phase.

S phase (Synthesis Phase) is the phase of the cell cycle in which all of the chromosomes (DNA) are replicated within the nucleus. During this phase, the DNA is effectively doubled as each chromosome contains two sister chromatids. After the S phase, the cell enters the G2 phase where various proteins (such as microtubules) are synthesized.
