Q

Preparation for mitosis
Cell growth
Which of the following phases are included in interphase? Select TWO that apply.
Select all correct options
Anaphase
Cytokinesis
Prophase

1 answer

During interphase, the cell prepares for mitosis and undergoes growth and DNA replication. The phases included in interphase are:

  1. G1 Phase (first gap) - cell growth and normal functions.
  2. S Phase (synthesis) - DNA replication.
  3. G2 Phase (second gap) - preparation for mitosis.

The options you provided (Anaphase, Cytokinesis, Prophase) are all phases of mitosis, not interphase. Therefore, none of those options are correct.

To clarify:

  • Anaphase: A phase of mitosis where sister chromatids are pulled apart.
  • Cytokinesis: The process that follows mitosis where the cell divides into two daughter cells.
  • Prophase: A phase of mitosis where chromosomes condense and the mitotic spindle begins to form.

If you need options related specifically to interphase, you might look for G1, S, or G2.
