Which combination of cell cycle phase and descriptor is correct?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C. The G?ä?ü?óÔé¼?í?óÔé¼?í phase is the phase before mitosis within interphase where the cell grows in size and synthesizes proteins needed for cell division. Option A incorrectly describes the S phase, which is primarily for DNA synthesis. Option B is incorrect as the doubling of chromosomes does not occur in G?ä?ü?óÔé¼?í?»???¢ phase. Option D is inaccurate because interphase encompasses G?ä?ü?óÔé¼?í?»???¢, S, and G?ä?ü?óÔé¼?í?óÔé¼?í phases, during which the cell prepares for division by increasing its mass and organelles, rather than specifically focusing on mitosis preparation.
