Botany - Cell Cycle and Cell Division Question with Solution | TestHub

Interphase, therefore, consists of G₁, S, and G₂. During G₁, cells make the RNA, enzymes, and other proteins needed for growth. At the end of G₁, the cell becomes committed to dividing or not dividing. The nuclear division follows interphase, referred to as the M phase (M for mitosis). Growth stops temporarily during mitosis. Prophase which is the first stage of karyokinesis of mitosis follows the S and G₂phases of interphase. Prophase is marked by the initiation of condensation of chromosomal material. The chromosomal material becomes untangled during the process of chromatin condensation.
