Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division by growing and replicating its DNA.
Recognize that interphase consists of three stages: G1 (first gap), S (synthesis), and G2 (second gap).
During the S phase of interphase, DNA replication occurs, ensuring that each daughter cell will have an identical set of DNA after cell division.
Mitochondria and ribosomes are not specifically replicated during interphase; instead, they are produced continuously as needed by the cell.
The cell membrane is not replicated during interphase; it is involved in cell growth and division but does not undergo replication like DNA.
