Multiple Choice
Interphase is made up of what stages of the cell cycle?
A
Cytokinesis and Telophase
B
Prophase, Metaphase, and Anaphase
C
G0, M, and S phases
D
G1, S, and G2 phases
Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand that the cell cycle is divided into two main phases: Interphase and the Mitotic (M) phase.
Recognize that Interphase is the period of the cell cycle during which the cell is not dividing but is preparing for division.
Identify the stages of Interphase: G1 phase (cell growth), S phase (DNA synthesis), and G2 phase (preparation for mitosis).
Note that the G1 phase is where the cell grows and carries out normal functions, the S phase is where DNA replication occurs, and the G2 phase is where the cell prepares for mitosis.
Clarify that the stages of Interphase are distinct from the stages of mitosis, which include Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase, and that Cytokinesis is the process of cytoplasmic division following mitosis.
