Question

complex organisms quick check
in which phase do cells rest? (1 point)
anaphase
prophase
interphase
metaphase

Explanation:

• Anaphase: Chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles. Not a resting phase.
• Prophase: Chromatin condenses, nuclear envelope breaks down. Active phase.
• Interphase: Cell grows, replicates DNA. Considered the resting phase (though cell is active in preparation).
• Metaphase: Chromosomes align at cell's equator. Active phase.

Answer:

interphase
