Question

in this phase, chromosomes replicates, and prepares for cell division. metaphase prophase anaphase interphase

Explanation:

In cell biology, interphase is the stage where the cell grows, replicates its chromosomes (DNA synthesis occurs during S - phase of interphase), and prepares for cell division (through G1 and G2 phases which involve growth and checking for DNA damage etc.). Metaphase is when chromosomes align at the equatorial plate. Prophase is the start of mitosis where chromatin condenses into chromosomes. Anaphase is when sister chromatids separate.

Answer:

Interphase
