Question

which stage of mitosis is shown below?* dna duplicating prophase metaphase interphase anaphase telophase

Explanation:

In interphase, the cell is not actively dividing. It is in a phase of growth and preparation for mitosis. One of the key events in interphase is DNA duplication (replication) which occurs during the S - phase of interphase. In prophase, chromosomes condense, the nuclear envelope starts to break down, and the spindle apparatus begins to form. In metaphase, chromosomes align at the equatorial plate. In anaphase, sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles. In telophase, the nuclear envelope reforms around the separated chromosomes. Since the image shows DNA duplicating, which is a characteristic of interphase.

Answer:

Interphase
