Question

What is occuring in a cell during interphase

Answer 1

The majority of a cell's time is spent in a phase known as interphase, during which it develops, copies its chromosomes, and gets ready to divide. After leaving interphase, the cell continues through mitosis to finish dividing.

Answer 2

The DNA in chromosomes copies itself ready for mitosis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Interphase is the time during which preparations for mitosis are made. Interphase itself is made up of three phases – G1 phase, S phase, and G2 phase – along with a special phase called G0.

G1 phase is the time during which the cell makes more proteins so that it can grow to its proper size.

S phase, or synthesis phase, is the time during which the cell copies its DNA in preparation for mitosis.

The G2 phase is the time during which a cell replicates its organelles in preparation for mitosis.

Entry into G0 is known as leaving the cell cycle.
