Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following take(s) place during either interphase or mitosis in animal cells?I. Re-formation of nuclear membranesII. Pairing of homologous chromosomesIII. DNA replication
A
I only
B
I and II only
C
II and III only
D
I and III only
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During interphase, the cell grows and the nuclear DNA is duplicated. Interphase is followed by the mitotic phase. During the mitotic phase, the duplicated chromosomes are segregated and distributed into daughter nuclei. The cytoplasm is usually divided as well, resulting in two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -The S phase of a cell cycle occurs during interphase, before mitosis or meiosis, and is responsible for the synthesis or replication of DNA. In this way, the genetic material of a cell is doubled before it enters mitosis or meiosis, allowing there to be enough DNA to be split into daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Interphase is divided into G1, S, and G2 phases. It is during interphase that the cell grows by making proteins and cytoplasmic organelles. During S phase, the DNA is replicated, yielding sister chromatids.

Detailed explanation-4: -During the S phase of Interphase, the cell duplicates its genetic information within the nucleus of the cell. DNA is a long, helical strand of genetic information that codes for all the parts of the cell as well as the organism.
