Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: M-phase is not a part of interphase.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Interphase is the longest part of the cell cycle. This is when the cell grows and copies its DNA before moving into mitosis. During mitosis, chromosomes will align, separate, and move into new daughter cells. The prefix inter-means between, so interphase takes place between one mitotic (M) phase and the next.
Detailed explanation-4: -Interphase is composed of the G1, S, and G2 phases. G1 and G2 correspond to periods of growth, protein synthesis, and organelle replication. The S phase is the period of DNA replication.
Detailed explanation-5: -Final answer: The incorrect statement about interphase is ‘There is no cellular growth’.
