Answer: The correct answer is A. During this time, cells take in nutrients, which are important for energy, growth, and repair of the cell.
Interphase is the first phase of the cell cycle. During this phase, the cell takes in nutrients, which are important for energy, growth, and repair of the cell.
In other words, cell prepares for division by growth, synthesizing essential proteins, and duplicating the DNA. This phase occurs prior to cell division.
This phase is primarily divided into G1, S, and G2 phase. G1 and G2 are the gap phases during which cellular growth and synthesis of essential proteins take place.
S phase ( synthesis phase) includes the duplication of the DNA so two identical cells are obtained after cell division.
Thus, the correct statement, which describes the interphase is A.
