Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ consists of G1, S, and G2 stages
A
Interphase
B
Metaphase
C
Telophase
D
Cytokenesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Interphase is composed of G1 phase (cell growth), followed by S phase (DNA synthesis), followed by G2 phase (cell growth). At the end of interphase comes the mitotic phase, which is made up of mitosis and cytokinesis and leads to the formation of two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -G1 phase (Gap 1)-Cellular contents excluding the chromosomes, are duplicated. II. S phase (DNA Synthesis)-Each of the 46 chromosomes are duplicated by the cell. III. G2 phase (Gap 2)-The Cell “double checks” the duplicated chromosomes for error, making any needed repair.

Detailed explanation-3: -Interphase is divided into the first growth (G1), Synthesis (S), and the second growth (G2) phases (figure 1). The growth phases are, as you may have suspected, for the growth of the cell, during the synthesis phase the DNA replication occurs in preparation for the second growth phase.
