Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When does interphase occur?
A
after meiosis
B
before meiosis
C
the third phase
D
fourth phase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For example, prior to undergoing meiosis, a cell goes through an interphase period in which it grows, replicates its chromosomes, and checks all of its systems to ensure that it is ready to divide. Like mitosis, meiosis also has distinct stages called prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Interphase occurs before meiosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer is b. 1.

Detailed explanation-4: -The interphase is the period when the cell is in a non-dividing state and this can be in different stages: the first gap (G1) between the last mitosis and the S phase (phase of DNA synthesis) and the second gap (G2) between the completion of the S phase and the next mitosis (M).

Detailed explanation-5: -This happens to all the 46 chromosomes. This way, they can be split up into the four cells during the course of meiosis I and II. This stage of duplicating a single chromosome to form the duplicated chromosome structure takes place before meiosis and is called interphase.
