What are the stages taking place in interphase? |
| Answer» During interphase a number of changes take place so as to prepare the cell for division. During this period, the cell experiences growth and DNA replication.The interphase is divided into three phases, which are as follows:(i)\xa0G1 phase (Gap 1):\xa0During this phase, the cell is metabolically active and continuously grows and prepares its DNA for replication.(ii)\xa0S phase (Synthesis):\xa0During this phase, DNA synthesis or replication takes place. In this phase, the amount of DNA per cell doubles, but the number of chromosomes remain the same.(iii)\xa0G2 phase (Gap 2):\xa0During this phase, proteins and RNA synthesis take place so to prepare the cell for mitosis. The cell growth continues during this phase. | |
