What are the three phases of interphase?

• Anaphase, telophase, and prophase

• Metaphase, telophase, and anaphase

• Prophase, metaphase, and telophase

• G1, S, and G2

What is the function of interphase in the cell cycle?

• To replicate the DNA

• To grow the cell

• To check for errors in the DNA

• To prepare for division

What is the result of the chromatid separation during anaphase?

• Each daughter cell will receive an identical set of chromosomes

• The chromosomes will become specialized

• The chromosomes will grow in size

• The chromosomes will become damaged
