Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interphase is the time between mitotic divisions when the cell is not actively dividing, but is instead preparing for the next division. This is when the chromosomes duplicate themselves. Cytokinesis is the actual division of the cell into two daughter cells, and cytogenesis is not a term commonly used in cell division. Copyphase is not a recognized term in biology.
