Question

Where does interphase and cytokinesis fit in relation to the four stages of mitosis?

Answer 1

Interphase and cytokinesis are preparing the cell to go through mitosis and multiply

Answer 2

Interphase: before prophase

Cytokinesis: from anaphase through to telophase

Step-by-step explanation:

During the interphase, the cell prepares itself for division by actively growing/developing (G1 phase), doubling the amount of DNA (S phase), synthesizing proteins (G2 phase) and other essential molecules required for a cell in division. The cell enters the first stage of mitosis (prophase) immediately after exiting the G2 phase of the interphase.

Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm. The process of commences at the anaphase stage of mitosis and continues through to the telophase stage. The cytoplasm of the mother cell divides physically and two independent daughter cells result.
