Is prophase a step in mitosis?

Answer 1

No. Prophase I means prophase of the first division of meiosis. It is followed by metaphase I, anaphase I, and telophase I. Likewise the second division consists of prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, and telophase II.

Interphase is just plain interphase: no I or II, as it is not part of any division, but the stage between divisions.

Answer 2

Interphase:

• G1 phase: The period prior to the synthesis of DNA. In this phase, the cell increases in mass in preparation for cell division. Note that the G in G1 represents gap and the 1 represents first, so the G1 phase is the first gap phase.
• S phase: The period during which DNA is synthesized. In most cells, there is a narrow window of time during which DNA is synthesized. Note that the S represents synthesis.
• G2 phase: The period after DNA synthesis has occurred but prior to the start of prophase. The cell synthesizes proteins and continues to increase in size. Note that the G in G2 represents gap and the 2 represents second, so the G2 phase is the second gap phase.
• In the latter part of interphase, the cell still has nucleoli present.
• The nucleus is bounded by a nuclear envelope and the cell's chromosomes have duplicated but are in the form of chromatin.
• In animal cells, two pair of centrioles formed from the replication of one pair are located outside of the nucleus.

Answer 3

Mitosis. Interphase is pretty much the cell's life cycle and prepares for cell division. Meiosis is the process of cells dividing again

Answer 4

Yes Interphase 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5

Answer 5

Interphase does occur before meiosis 1.

Answer 6

no
