Question
In the G1 phase a normal cell may: a. stop dividing b. duplicate chromosomes c. replicate mitochondria d. double check process and readiness
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
During G1, the cell grows and carries out its normal functions, which includes replicating organelles like mitochondria to prepare for eventual division. Chromosomes are duplicated in S phase. Checking readiness (DNA damage check) occurs at the G1/S checkpoint, and a cell may enter G0 (stop dividing) from G1.
Hint
The cell makes more of its internal machinery.
