Question

normally, the cell is in a state called interphase, which has three stages - g1, s, and g2, shown to the right. in interphase, the cell is performing its normal functions, but toward the end some changes begin happening. what do you see happening in the images to the right? the cell gains new genetic material the genetic material is being copied the genetic material condenses the genetic material expands the genetic material moves to opposite sides of the cell

Explanation:

The question is about cell division stages, specifically the changes in genetic material (chromatin/chromosomes). In cell division, during prophase (or as cells prepare for division), genetic material (chromatin) condenses into visible chromosomes. The option "The genetic material condenses" matches this process. Other options: gaining new genetic material is not typical in normal cell division stages shown here; copying occurs in S - phase (interphase, not the visible change in these images); expanding is incorrect; moving to opposite sides is anaphase, but the images likely show condensation (e.g., from loose chromatin to condensed chromosomes).

Answer:

The genetic material condenses
