Question

Which description best fits the activity of a cell during interphase?

Question 11 options:

The cell carries on metabolism.

The cell differentiates to have a new function.

The cell splits in two.

The cell splits in two but with half the normal number of chromosomes.

Answer 1

The correct option is A) The cell carries on metabolism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Interphase can be described as the phase of cell cycle in which the cell spends most of its time. In this phase, the cell carries out its normal metabolic functions and prepares it self for division. The phase of interphase is divided into three parts which are the Gap 1, Synthesis, and Gap 2. Hence, the correct option is A.

Other options, like option C, is not correct because the cell splits into two during cytokinesis.
