Explanation:

Question 1

The cell cycle is the repeating sequence of growth, development, and division that cells undergo.

Interphase is the stage where cells spend most of their time (about 90%) performing normal functions, growing, and preparing for division.

The first phase of interphase, G₁ (Gap 1), involves the cell growing, producing organelles, and making proteins.
