What is interphase in mitosis?

Answer 1

Interphase is the period between cell divisions. Many processes occur during this time.

As you can see in this picture, Interphase is the life of a cell when it's not dividing. There are three stages of Interphase: Gap 1, Synthesis, and Gap 2.

Gap 1

In Gap 1, the cell, having recently been separated from its daughter cell, undergoes substantial growth. Important proteins are synthesized as well.

Synthesis

This is a very important stage of Mitosis. In Synthesis, DNA is replicated and double-stranded chromosomes appear.

Gap 2

In Gap 2, organelles are produced. In addition, the cell checks itself to see if it's ready for cell division.

Interphase is the phase in the cell cycle where cells prepare for division, comprising three stages: G1, S, and G2. It involves growth, DNA replication, and synthesis of necessary molecules.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
