Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The G1 phase is the first growth phase in the cell cycle, during which the cell grows and prepares for DNA replication. The cell type that divides most rapidly would spend less time in G1 phase than the other cells, as it would need to quickly grow and replicate its DNA in order to divide. Therefore, option D - less time in G1 - is the correct answer.
