Detailed explanation-1: -During interphase, the cell grows and makes a copy of its DNA. During the mitotic (M) phase, the cell separates its DNA into two sets and divides its cytoplasm, forming two new cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -A cell spends most of its time in what is called interphase, and during this time it grows, replicates its chromosomes, and prepares for cell division. The cell then leaves interphase, undergoes mitosis, and completes its division.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -S phase is the period during which DNA replication occurs.
Detailed explanation-5: -10. Which of the following choices describes Interphase? Answer: Occupies the majority of the cell cycle, Includes (G1, S and G2 Stages), Results in an increase in cell size.
