Question

what happens during interphase?
the cytoplasm divides, and the two daughter cells separate.
the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
the cell grows, replicates its dna, and gets ready to divide.
a nuclear membrane forms around each set of dna.

Explanation:

Interphase is the preparatory stage of the cell cycle. The first option describes cytokinesis, the second is metaphase of mitosis, the fourth is telophase of mitosis. Only the third option matches the key events of interphase: cell growth, DNA replication, and preparation for cell division.

Answer:

The cell grows, replicates its DNA, and gets ready to divide.
