Question

1 cell growth ensures that enough cellular material is present for the cell to divide equally into two identical cells. this cell division allows the organism to grow larger by making more cells. during which stage of the cell cycle does cell growth occur? a s phase b g₁ phase c g₂ phase d m phase

Explanation:

The G₁ phase is the first gap phase of the cell - cycle where the cell grows in size, synthesizes proteins and organelles needed for DNA replication and cell division later. In the S phase, DNA replication occurs. In the G₂ phase, the cell prepares for mitosis. The M phase is for cell division (mitosis and cytokinesis). So cell growth mainly occurs in G₁ phase.

Answer:

B. G₁ phase
