The portion of the cell cycle when the cell is growing and does not contain a replicated genome is referred to as:
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to identify which phase of the cell cycle is characterized by cell growth and the absence of a replicated genome. It presents multiple choice options for the answer.
Answer
G1 phase
The final answer is G1 phase.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is G1 phase.
More Information
During the G1 phase of the cell cycle, the cell is metabolically active, growing, and preparing for DNA replication. It does not contain a replicated genome during this time.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the G1 phase with the G2 phase, which occurs after DNA replication in the S phase.
