Select all of the events of interphase.
A
Cell function
B
Nuclear division
C
Growth
D
Cytokinesis
E
DNA replication
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: -There are three stages of interphase: G1 (first gap), S (synthesis of new DNA ), and G2 (second gap). Cells spend most of their lives in interphase, specifically in the S phase where genetic material must be copied.

Detailed explanation-3: -These phases are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Detailed explanation-4: -During interphase, the chromosomes are decondensed and distributed throughout the nucleus, so the nucleus appears morphologically uniform. At the molecular level, however, interphase is the time during which both cell growth and DNA replication occur in an orderly manner in preparation for cell division.
