Question

Which statement is FALSE about interphase?

A) DNA is replicated (copied) during interphase.
B) Interphase ONLY happens in mitosis.
C) Interphase happens once before meiosis.
D) The cell grows during interphase.

Answer 1

Statement B is FALSE about interphase. Interphase is the longest phase of the cell cycle and it occurs before both mitosis and meiosis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement B is FALSE about interphase. Interphase is the longest phase of the cell cycle and it occurs before both mitosis and meiosis. During interphase, the cell undergoes normal growth processes, DNA is replicated, and the cell grows in size. It is during interphase that the cell prepares for cell division.
