Which of the statement is false about INTERPHASE?

|
Cell grows during interphase
|
|
|
DNA is replicated during S-phase
|
|
|
Interphase only happens in Mitosis and not Meiosis
|
|
|
Interphase happens once during Meiosis
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Common mistakes and misconceptions. Interphase is not part of meiosis. Although a cell needs to undergo interphase before entering meiosis, interphase is technically not part of meiosis. Crossing over occurs only during prophase I.
Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: The incorrect statement about interphase is ‘There is no cellular growth’.
Detailed explanation-3: -Interphase doesn’t occur a second time because after the first division of meiosis the cell only contains half the chromosomes necessary to perform its functions.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer choice is C. The nucleus replicates. Replication of the nucleus does not happen during interphase.
