What are the three sub-phases of interphase?

• G₁, S, G₄

• G₁, S, G₃

• G₁, S, G₂

• G₂, S, G₃

What happens during the S phase of interphase?

• The cell prepares for mitosis

• DNA replication occurs

• The cell grows and carries out normal metabolic activities

• The chromosomes line up along the equator of the cell

What is the role of the centromere during cell division?

• Helps in the separation of chromatids

• Forms the spindle fibers

• Dissolves the nuclear membrane

• Forms the cleavage furrow
