Normally, the cell is in a state called interphase, which
has three stages - G1, S, and G2, shown to the right. In
interphase, the cell is performing its normal functions,
but toward the end some changes begin happening.
What do you see happening in the images to the right?
The cell gains new genetic
material
The genetic material is being
copied
The genetic material condenses
The genetic material expands
The genetic material moves to
opposite sides of the cell
