Question

describe two events that occur during the interphase stage of the cell cycle. (2 pts)

Explanation:

Interphase is a preparatory stage. DNA replication occurs to duplicate genetic material. Organelles also duplicate to support cell division.

Answer:

1. DNA replication: The cell duplicates its DNA so that each new cell will have a complete set of genetic information.
2. Organelle duplication: Organelles such as mitochondria and centrioles replicate to ensure that daughter - cells have the necessary components for normal function.
