Which statement best describes the overall function/purpose of interphase? Hint: * Cell Cycle and Interphase video * Textbook chapter 10 section 10.2 * To divide a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. * To double the number of chromosomes. * To condense and package the DNA into tightly wound chromosomes. * To convert a haploid nucleus into a diploid nucleus. * To duplicate all of the cellular contents.

It is not the actual division of the parent cell into two identical daughter cells, so the first statement is incorrect. Interphase does involve the replication of DNA, but it does not double the number of chromosomes, so the second statement is incorrect. The Show more…

The cell cycle Complete the paragraph to describe how the cell cycle should function: Not all answer choices will be used: cytokinesis The cell cycle results in two genetically cells: daughter identical It consists of 3 phases During and copies its DNA the cell grows mitosis During cell division takes place as the cell contents are split between two new cells prophase This phase actually has five stages within it, including prometaphase; metaphase, anaphase; and telophase_ interphase During the cell contents are split between two distinct daughter cells: unique
