What important function is happening in the S phase? A. growing in size only

B. growing in size and carrying out the cell's function

C. preparing to divide

D. synthesizing DNA

The answer is D. Synthesizing DNA.

Explanation:

The synthesis (S) phase of the cell cycle is of critical importance to precisely replicating the genomic information encoded in the nucleus of the cell.

The major work of the S phase of the cell cycle is replicating the entire complement of DNA. To do this, the cell activates pre-replication complexes to make replication origins. These are simply areas of the DNA where replication will begin.

D. synthesizing DNA

Explanation:

Synthesizing DNA is the important function happening in the S phase.

advantage of using stem cells in medical research:

1.       it provides medical benefits in the fields of therapeutic cloning and regenerative medicine.

2. it provides great potential for discovering treatments and cures to a variety of diseases including parkinson disease, spinal cord injuries, diabetes, alzheimer’s disease and many more.

3. limbs and organ could be grown in lab from stem cells and then used in transplant or treat illness.
