The correct answer is:
DNA in the cell does not replicate
$\mathrm{G}_1$ phase means gap 1 phase. It is the interval between mitosis and initiation of DNA replication. The cell is metabolically active and grows continuously but the DNA does not replicate. The cell also synthesizes proteins that are required for DNA replication.
