Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the "gap" phases (G1 and G2) of the cell cycle, the cell grows in size and synthesizes proteins in preparation for the next phase. The cell also checks for any DNA damage before proceeding to the next phase. While DNA replication does occur during the S phase, it is not a major activity in the gap phases. Nuclear membrane synthesis and sorting of chromosomes occur during mitosis. Resting is not a significant activity during any phase of the cell cycle.
