Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During interphase, the cell grows and prepares for cell division. This includes duplicating the genetic material, so genes and chromosomes are duplicated during this stage. Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase are all stages of mitosis where the duplicated genetic material is separated and divided into two daughter cells.
