Why is DNA replication important before a cell divides?

• So the nucleus grows bigger

• So each daughter cell gets a full set of chromosomes

• To produce energy for the cell

• To start photosynthesis

Which of the following happens during interphase?

• Chromosomes split

• Nucleus divides

• Cell rests

• Mitosis

• Cytokinesis

• S phase

What does the G2 phase check for?
