Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the phases that takes place during Interphase?
A
Mitosis and cytokinesis
B
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
C
G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase, and M phase
D
G1 phase, S phase, and G2 phase
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: -Phases of the Cell Cycle The cell cycle is a 4-stage process consisting of Gap 1 (G1), synthesis (S), Gap 2 (G2), and mitosis (M), which a cell undergoes as it grows and divides. After completing the cycle it either starts the process again from G1 or exits through G0.

Detailed explanation-3: -The first three phases of the cell cycle, G1, S, and G2 are collectively known as interphase. The following phase of the cell cycle, mitosis, is divided into the five distinct stages of prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
