Correct Answer: In the M phase, the cell grows physically larger and copies organelles.


Solution : The correct option is In the M phase, the cell grows physically larger and copies organelles.

The M phase of the cell cycle primarily involves mitosis, where the cell divides into two daughter cells. Growth and organelle duplication typically occur during the preceding phases of the cell cycle, such as the G1 and S phases, not in the M phase of the cycle.

The cell cycle consists of interphase, which includes G1 (cell growth), S (DNA synthesis), and G2 (preparation for division), followed by the M phase (mitosis and cytokinesis), where the cell divides into two daughter cells.
