Concept explainers
To review:
Match the term S phase (synthesis) with the most closely related descriptions given below:
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) replication
Flattened membrane discs, packaging
Adjacent plasma membranes bound by bands of interlocking proteins
Packaging of materials for import into cell
RNA (ribonucleic acid) and protein; protein synthesis
Control center; stores genetic information
Cell vesicles with digestive enzymes
Embedded in the plasma membrane
Internal protein framework in the cytoplasm
Introduction:
The cell cycle is a process that includes a series of phases that lead to the division of the cell. During the S phase (synthesis phase, where the DNA is replicated), the original number of chromosomes are duplicated, doubling the number of chromatids.
