Which of the following is NOT a phase of interphase?
A
M Phase
B
G1
C
S
D
G2
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: M-phase is not a part of interphase.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cells in either mitosis or cell division (also called cytokinesis) are in the M phase, whereas those in the other three phases (G1, S, and G2) are in the interphase.

Detailed explanation-3: -Interphase in a cell cycle has three stages-G1, S and G2. M-phase is not a part of interphase.

Detailed explanation-4: -The M phase is mitosis, and is the portion of the cell cycle during which the cell is undergoing division. As a result, it is not part of interphase.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Principal Stages of M Phase (Mitosis and Cytokinesis) in an Animal Cell. The five stages of mitosis-prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase-occur in strict sequential order, while cytokinesis begins in anaphase and continues through telophase.
