Question

Which statement provides the best description of the interphase portion of the cell cycle?- Interphase is a resting stage prior to cell division.- During interphase, a cell is metabolically active.- Interphase is a brief period between mitosis and chromosome duplication.

Answer 1

During interphase, a cell is metabolically active

Step-by-step explanation:

Cell cycle is divided into two stages: interphase (lasts 3/4 of the cycle) and phase M (1/4 of the cycle).

Interphase is also divided into three stages:

Phase G1

Protein and RNA synthesis is done.

Phase S

DNa synthesis is done.

Phase G2

Protein synthesis continues and the cell grows to start the division.
