Question

Which phase of the cell cycle occurs when the cell is preparing to divide so it grows in size making organelles and copying DNA. Is this an example of Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis, Sister Chromatid, Centromere, or Cell Plate?

Answer 1

The phase of the cell cycle you are describing is **Interphase**. During Interphase, the cell grows in size, produces organelles, and replicates its DNA in preparation for cell division. Interphase includes three subphases: G1 (first gap), S (synthesis), and G2 (second gap).
