Which statement is FALSE about interphase?

Question

A.The cell grows during interphase

B.Interphase happens ONCE during meiosis

C.DNA is replicated (copied) during interphase

D.Interphase only happens in mitosis

Answer 1

The FALSE statement about interphase is:

D. Interphase only happens in mitosis.

Interphase occurs in both mitosis and meiosis, as it is the phase where the cell prepares for division by growing and replicating its DNA. Thus, the claim that interphase "only happens in mitosis" is incorrect.
