Interphase used to be described as a 'resting stage' explain why this is inaccurate?
The reason is that during interphase nuclei are not resting! Nuclei are expressing their genes to make the proteins neede by the cell eg enzymes. Also, it is during interphase that the DNA is replicated before the next cell division. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interphase
Why does skin cells spend less time during interphase?
Skin cells actually spend most of their time in the interphase stage. This is because cells spend their time preparing for cell division in this stage.
What phases are chromosomes not visible?
Interphase and Telophase
What is an interphase stage during cell cycle?
Interphase is the step in cell division when cells perform their major functions in the time frame it takes before it is tie for them to divide. The cells get larger and create duplicate copies of DNA in order to divide.
When is puppy stage over?
When the pup has finished growing and is able to breed it's considered an adult.
Why is resting stage a bad name for interphase?
The resting stage is a bad name for interphase because the cell is not resting. The cell is still functioning and is preparing for mitosis.
Which stage of mitosis is called resting stage?
It's interphase, though ironically, the cell is actually quite busy during this phase trying to perform its normal functions. It is called the resting phase because it is "resting" from cell division.
Longest part of cell's life cycle?
The longest stage is the resting phase or the interphase which occur between cell divisions.
Is interphase really a resting phase?
Interphase is not really a resting place. During interphase a cell is undergoing sythesis and mitosis. The chromosomes are copied and cells double in size.
When are nucleoli present?
Nucleoi are present in the interphase stage of mitosis
Which stages are associated with Interphase?
Interphase is the portion of a cells mitosis. It is when the cell is resting, and building up the important supplies for the next split. It is often the longest stage, and is followed in order by: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, & Cytokinasis
What is the beginning point of mitosis?
The first stage of actual mitosis is prophase when the chromosomes are condensed and are forming rodlike structures. The first stage of the cell cycle, however, is interphase, when the cell is resting, growing, and copying its DNA.
What is the last stage of interphase called and what happens to the cell?
The last stage of interphase is called the G2 phase
What stage does longest part of the cell cycle?
Longest stage of cell cycle would be the interphase
What stage DNA replicate?
S Phase of Interphase
The period of growth in between cell divisions is called?
It is interphase, which is divided into three stages. First is a growth stage (G1), during which the synthesis of proteins and other necessary molecules takes place and the cell becomes larger. At about mid-interphase the cell replicates its nuclear DNA (S phase; the letter stands for "synthesis"). Finally there is a second growth stage (G2).
What is the dividing stage?
Interphase is considered non-dividing, but that doesn't mean that the cell's organelles and DNA aren't replicating.
