Question

label the figure with the appropriate description of each phase of the cell cycle. preparing for replication resting separation of replicated dna daughter cells receive genetically identical dna preparing for cell division dna replication drag each item above to its appropriate location in the image. note that every item may not have a match, while some items may have more than one match.

Explanation:

• $G_1$ phase: Cell prepares for replication by growing and producing proteins and organelles. So "preparing for replication" applies here.
• $S$ phase: DNA replication occurs, doubling the amount of DNA in the cell. So "DNA replication" is for this phase.
• $G_2$ phase: Cell prepares for cell - division by synthesizing proteins needed for mitosis and cytokinesis. So "preparing for cell division" fits.
• $G_0$ phase: A resting or quiescent state where the cell is not actively dividing or preparing to divide. So "resting" is appropriate.
• Mitosis: During mitosis, replicated DNA is separated into two nuclei, and daughter cells receive genetically identical DNA. So "separation of replicated DNA" and "daughter cells receive genetically identical DNA" apply to mitosis.

Answer:

• $G_1$ phase: preparing for replication
• $S$ phase: DNA replication
• $G_2$ phase: preparing for cell division
• $G_0$ phase: resting
• Mitosis: separation of replicated DNA, daughter cells receive genetically identical DNA
