Question Detail
Question
Normal cellular activities, such as protein synthesis, occur primarily during: A. Prophase B. Metaphase C. Anaphase D. Interphase
Correct Answer
Option D is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Interphase is the period of the cell cycle when the cell is not dividing. It is during this time that the cell grows, carries out its normal metabolic functions (like protein synthesis), and replicates its DNA in preparation for division.
Hint
This is the 'everyday life' phase of the cell, between divisions.
