Identify the correct statement with regard to G₁ phase (Gap 1) of interphase.

1. Reorganisation of all cell components takes place.
2. Cell is metabolically active, grows but does not replicate its DNA.
3. Nuclear Division takes place.
4. DNA synthesis or replication takes place.

Correct answer: Cell is metabolically active, grows but does not replicate its DNA.

Solution

G₁ is the first gap phase of interphase, when the cell is metabolically active and grows while preparing for DNA synthesis. DNA replication happens in S phase, and nuclear division occurs later in mitosis.
