Question

Refer to the following list of processes.

I. Gap 1
II. Synthesis
III. Gap 2
IV. Mitosis
V. Cytokinesis

Which of the processes above comprises Interphase?
a. I, II
b. I, III
c. IV, V
d. I, II, III
e. III, IV, V

Answer 1

Interphase consists of Gap 1 (G1), Synthesis (S), and Gap 2 (G2), thus the answer to the question is option d: I, II, III.

Step-by-step explanation:

The processes that comprise Interphase are the First Gap (G1), Synthesis (S), and Second Gap (G2) phases. During the G1 phase, the cell grows and makes proteins needed for DNA replication. The S phase is when the actual DNA replication occurs.

Lastly, G2 involves further growth and final preparations for cell division. Therefore, Interphase consists of processes I (Gap 1), II (Synthesis), and III (Gap 2), which corresponds to option d: I, II, III.
