Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer choice is C. The nucleus replicates. Replication of the nucleus does not happen during interphase.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Solution : interphase in a cell cycle has three stages ‘-G (1), S‘ and ‘G (2)‘ M-phase is not a part of interphase.
Detailed explanation-4: -There are three stages of interphase: G1 (first gap), S (synthesis of new DNA ), and G2 (second gap). Cells spend most of their lives in interphase, specifically in the S phase where genetic material must be copied.
