Question

____ preps the cell for mitosis
telophase
interphase
prophase
anaphase

Answer 1

interphase preps the cell for mitosis; telophase, prophase, and anaphase are all parts of mitosis

Answer 2

Option B, interphase

Step-by-step explanation:

During an interphase, the cell prepares itself for mitosis. There are basically three sub phases in the interphase –

a) G1 –

During the G1 phase, protein synthesis takes place to cater the requirement of cytosol in the cell. This phase occur just after a cell division

b) S-

It is known as the synthesis phase. A cell prepares itself for next division by making a copy of its DNA and all packaging proteins are also produced in this phase

c) G2-

In this phase, the cell just gets ready to enter into mitosis cell division process. The cell organelles start duplicating themselves

Hence, option B
