What occurs during interphase?

• the cytoplasm of the cell pinches inward and the cell divides into 2 new cells

• the nucleus of the cell divides

• cells perform programmed cell death

• cells grow, perform everyday functions, and prepare to divide

What are the three stages of interphase, in order?

• G1 --> G2 --> S

• S --> G1 --> G2

• G1 --> S --> G2

• G2 --> S --> G1

What happens during S phase?

• to repair the cell

• to replicate (copy) the DNA

• to divide the nucleus

• to grow the cell
