C
Organelle duplication
D
Chromosome condensation
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that interphase is the phase of the cell cycle during which the cell prepares for division and consists of three stages: G1, S, and G2.
In the G1 phase, the cell grows and performs normal functions. This is where cell growth and organelle duplication occur.
During the S phase, DNA replication takes place, ensuring that each daughter cell will have a complete set of chromosomes.
In the G2 phase, the cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis, but chromosome condensation does not occur during interphase.
Chromosome condensation is a process that occurs during prophase of mitosis, not during interphase, which is why it is the correct answer to the question.
