4. a friend says cells do nothing during
interphase. do you agree or disagree?
explain why.

disagree

Explanation:

the cell copies its DNA in preparation for mitosis. Interphase is the 'daily living' or metabolic phase of the cell, in which the cell obtains nutrients and metabolizes them, grows, reads its DNA, and conducts other "normal" cell functions.

I disagree

Explanation:

There are 3 stages in INTERPHASE:

1) G1 (Gap 1)

2) S (DNA SYNTHESIS)

3) G2 (Gap 2)

1)  G1 (Gap 1)

-all life processes are active and happening in the cell (MRS NERG)

-this is causing the cell to GROW in size

-also where more organells and proteins are made

2) S (DNA SYNTHESIS)

- the cell duplicates DNA so that the daughter cells hich it will divide into in mitosis will have each of its DNS

-energy is also save up in ATP (excess energy from respiration will be used for dividing in MITOSIS)

3) G2 (GAP 2)

- This is a CONTROL CHECKPOINT (where the cell checks for repairs which are fixed by the cell itself)

THAT'S IT (I GUESS)

HOPE I HELPED :-)
