Question

Interphase is the period between two successive cell division of a cell.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. The cell cycle is a series of processes that take place in a cell as it divides and grows.
2. The Interphase and Mitotic phases are the two phases of the cell cycle.
3. A cell prepares for division during interphase, while actual division happens in the mitotic or M-phase.
4. Interphase is the resting phase between successive mitotic divisions of a cell, or between the first and the second divisions of meiosis.
5. When a cell completes the mitotic phase of the first cell cycle, two cells are formed. Now, when the next cell cycle begins it starts with the interphase and ends with the mitotic phase. So, the interphase is the resting phase between two mitotic phases.
6. It is the phase in which the cell spends most of its life and it is the period between two successive cell divisions of a cell.

The given statement ‘Interphase is the period between two successive cell divisions of a cell’ is true.
