Which statement is FALSE about interphase?

Question

The cell grows during interphase

DNA is replicated (copied) during interphase

Interphase only happens in mitosis

Interphase happens ONCE during meiosis

Answer 1

The statement that is FALSE about interphase is:

Interphase only happens in mitosis.

This statement is incorrect because interphase occurs before both mitosis and meiosis. Interphase is the stage where the cell prepares for division by growing and replicating its DNA, and it occurs in all cell cycles, not just mitosis.
