The non-dividing phase that occurs at the beginning of the cell cycle is known as the interval between two cell divisions called:
Correct answer: A. Interphase
- A. Interphase
- B. Prophase
- C. G0 Phase
- D. G1 Phase
- E. Mitotic Phase
Explanation
Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle during which the cell is preparing for cell division (mitosis) or, in the case of cells that do not divide further, carrying out their normal functions and metabolic activities. So, you can think of interphase as the entire period between two cell divisions, which includes G1, S, and G2 phases.
