Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following are phases of interphase? (select 3)
A
G1
B
G2
C
S
D
Mitosis
E
Cytokinesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Interphase is composed of G1 phase (cell growth), followed by S phase (DNA synthesis), followed by G2 phase (cell growth).

Detailed explanation-2: -A cell spends most of its time in what is called interphase, and during this time it grows, replicates its chromosomes, and prepares for cell division.

Detailed explanation-3: -The third stage of the cell cycle is called cytokinesis. During this stage, the cytoplasm of the cell divides to form two cells. These two cells are called daughter cells. The new daughter cells are exactly the same as each other.

Detailed explanation-4: -Interphase in a cell cycle has three stages-G1, S and G2. M-phase is not a part of interphase.

Detailed explanation-5: -The S phase of a cell cycle occurs during interphase, before mitosis or meiosis, and is responsible for the synthesis or replication of DNA. In this way, the genetic material of a cell is doubled before it enters mitosis or meiosis, allowing there to be enough DNA to be split into daughter cells.
