In which phase of the cell division is the metabolic activity of the nucleus is high?
Correct answer: B. Interphase
- A. Mitosis
- B. Interphase
- C. Meiosis
- D. Cell Cycle
Explanation
The period of life cycle of cell (cell cycle) between two consecutive divisions is termed as the interphase or misleadingly called resting phase. It is the period of great biochemical activity and can further be divided into G1-phase, S-phase and G2-phase. G1 (Gap 1) is the period of extensive metabolic activity, in which cell normally grows in size, specific enzymes, are synthesized and DNA base units are accumulated for the DNA synthesis.

About Chromosomes
Chromosomes are DNA-protein structures that carry genes and become visible during cell division. Coverage includes chromatin, centromeres, sister chromatids, homologous chromosomes, chromosome number, and the distinction between diploid and haploid cells, with links to DNA replication, mitosis and meiosis.
