Which description best fits the activity of a cell during interphase?

Question 11 options:

The cell carries on metabolism.

The cell differentiates to have a new function.

The cell splits in two.

The cell splits in two but with half the normal number of chromosomes.

The correct option is A) The cell carries on metabolism.

Explanation:

During the interphase, the cell tends to carry out its normal cell activities and it prepares itself for the cell division process during the interphase. It synthesizes proteins etc which will be required for cell division during this phase. The cell becomes enlarged during this phase. A cell tends to spend most of its time in the interphase. Hence, option A is correct.

Other options, like option C, cannot be considered to be true because the process of cell splitting does not occur during the interphase, It happens during the process of cytokinesis.
