CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The interphase is the period when the cell is in a non-dividing state and this can be in different stages: the first gap (G1 ) between the last mitosis and the S phase (phase of DNA synthesis) and the second gap (G2) between the completion of the S phase and the next mitosis (M).

Detailed explanation-2: -G0 phase. While some cells are constantly dividing, others are quiescent. These cells exit G1 and enter a resting state called G0. In G0, a cell is performing its function without actively preparing to divide.

Detailed explanation-3: -By studying molecular events in cells, scientists have determined that interphase can be divided into 4 steps: Gap 0 (G0), Gap 1 (G1), S (synthesis) phase, Gap 2 (G2).

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -No, interphase is not part of mitosis, although both are part of the larger cell cycle. Interphase is the cell division phase that occurs before mitosis. During interphase, the cell gets itself ready for mitosis. The mitosis phase is marked by the division of the nucleus.
