Which event occurs during interphase?
A.Growth and DNA replication
B.Chromosome separation
C.Nuclear envelope breakdown
D.Cleavage furrow formation
Explanation
Core Concept
Interphase consists of G1, S, and G2. During these phases a cell can grow, duplicate its DNA during S phase, and prepare for division. The proportion of the cell cycle spent in interphase varies widely among cell types and conditions, so an approximate '90%' figure should not be taught as a universal rule.
Correct Answer
AGrowth and DNA replication
