Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that each chromosome consists of one chromatid before replication.
During interphase, specifically the S phase, each chromosome replicates to form two sister chromatids.
Since the original number of chromosomes is 46, after replication, each chromosome will have 2 chromatids.
Calculate the total number of chromatids by multiplying the number of chromosomes by 2: $46 \times 2$.
The result gives the total number of chromatids present after replication during interphase.
