Answer:
Cell prepares for division
Step-by-step explanation:
Prior to cell division, the cell prepares itself for the process. The phase where the cell does this is called INTERPHASE. Interphase is the longest phase of the cell cycle that occurs between two successive divisions. It encompasses three stages viz: G1 phase, S-phase and G2 phase.
In the G1 phase, the cell grows larger. It also accumulates building blocks of its molecular unit (DNA).
In the S-phase, also called the Synthesis phase, the cell replicates its DNA in the nucleus. This increases the DNA content of the cell in order for each daughter cell produced during the actual cell division to receive a correct number of DNA content. The spindle-producing centrosome is also duplicated at this stage.
In the G2 phase, the cell reorganizes its content, makes copies of its organnelles and prepares generally for division
