Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interphase is the period during which the cell grows and duplicates its chromosomes in preparation for cell division. This includes three stages, G1, S, and G2 phases. During G1 phase, the cell grows and carries out its normal metabolic activities. During S phase, DNA replication occurs, resulting in the duplication of chromosomes. During G2 phase, the cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis or meiosis.
