What happens in the first part of Interphase?
A
Mitosis
B
Cell Growth
C
DNA Replication
D
Anaphase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Interphase consists of three steps: G 1start subscript, 1, end subscript phase: first gap phase; the cell grows larger and organelles are copied. S phase: synthesis phase; the cell synthesizes a complete copy of the DNA in its nucleus.

Detailed explanation-2: -The G1 phase, gap 1 phase, or growth 1 phase, is the first of four phases of the cell cycle that takes place in eukaryotic cell division. In this part of interphase, the cell synthesizes mRNA and proteins in preparation for subsequent steps leading to mitosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -In G1, cells accomplish most of their growth; they get bigger in size and make proteins and organelles needed for normal functions of DNA synthesis. Here, proteins and RNAs are synthesized, and, more especially the centromere and the other components of the centrosomes are made.

Detailed explanation-4: -Interphase. G1, S and G2 phases are all cumulatively referred to as interphase involving the growth of a cell and the replication of its DNA. Initially in G1 phase, the cell grows physically and increases the volume of both protein and organelles.

Detailed explanation-5: -G1 phase. G1 is an intermediate phase occupying the time between the end of cell division in mitosis and the beginning of DNA replication during S phase. During this time, the cell grows in preparation for DNA replication, and certain intracellular components, such as the centrosomes undergo replication.
