Question

a cell carriers out its specialized function (
ormal cell job\) during _____________.
while the cell is doing its
ormal cell job,\ its dna is ____________ .

○ m phase; condensed
○ g2; condensed
○ g1; condensed
○ s phase; loose
○ g1; loose

Explanation:

The cell cycle has interphase (G1, S, G2) and M phase. Cells perform their specialized, normal functions during G1 phase of interphase. During this active functional period, DNA is in a loose, uncondensed chromatin form to allow gene expression for the cell's job. M phase is for cell division, S phase for DNA replication, and condensed DNA only occurs during division (M phase) or is not the state during normal function.

Answer:

G1; loose
