True or False
1. True.
 Justification: During interphase (the S phase) the DNA was replicated
to produce two copies of genetic material, and these two identical
DNA molecules are sister chromatids that are held together by a single
centromere. Mitosis, the sister chromatids are separated and go to
opposite poles of the cell. When the cell divides (cytokinesis), the two
new nuclei have one of each chromatid pair and are genetically
identical.
2. False.
 Justification: Many reactions occur, including protein synthesis, DNA
replication, and an increase in the number of chloroplasts and
mitochondria
Short Answer:
Interphase is the stage in the development of the cell between two successive M
phases. In Interphase, there are 3 stages. The first is where the cell grows (G1), the
next is when it copies its DNA (S), and the last is when it prepares for the division
(G2).
