Question

1. what phases of the cell cycle make up interphase?

Explanation:

Interphase is the longest part of the cell cycle, consisting of three distinct sequential phases where the cell grows, replicates its DNA, and prepares for cell division.

Answer:

The phases that make up interphase are:

1. G₁ phase (Gap 1 phase): The cell grows and carries out normal metabolic functions.
2. S phase (Synthesis phase): The cell replicates its nuclear DNA.
3. G₂ phase (Gap 2 phase): The cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis by producing necessary proteins and organelles.
