Question

Scientists who wished to study the metabolic function of cells with balanced translocations while preventing cell replication would be best served by arresting the cells during which phase of the cell cycle?

Answer 1

Interphase.

Step-by-step explanation:

interphase

When scientists were to prevent cell duplication, they would have to interrupt the division of cells (mitosis). Interphase is the stage of the cell life cycle that occur in between cell dividing stages.

It is during this phase that preventing cell replication would be best served by arresting the cells.
