- Interphase
- Prophase
- Cytokinesis
- Telophase
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: A. Interphase
Interphase is the preparatory period in which the cell grows and duplicates DNA.

Worked practice questions
DNA is duplicated during which cell-cycle phase?
- S phase
- G2 phase
- M phase
- G1 phase
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: A. S phase
DNA synthesis and chromosome replication occur in S phase.
What follows the S phase before mitosis begins?
- G2 phase
- Cytokinesis
- G1 phase
- G0 phase
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: A. G2 phase
G2 follows DNA replication and prepares the cell for mitosis.
